Trader Joe’s tonight . . . is very busy
Aisles packed rather tight
I’m feeling dizzy. Came to get some Brie
And soda crackers too

Staring at the chopped . . . . packaged selections
In the cooler by . . . the produce section
Makes me think that I
Should just pick up a few

Trader Joe’s tonight, the yummy sale signs
Make me exit to the right
To find tortillas
For fajitas for tonight
It must be alright

Impulse drives my purchases
Fuel for all my many urges

Every sign they have . . . . that shouts zucchini
Makes me think that I . . . . should make panini
Clear as black and white
At Trader Joe’s tonight

Instrumental

Impulse drives my purchases
Fuel for all my many urges

Every sign they have . . . . that shouts zucchini
Makes me think that I . . . . should make panini
Clear as black and white
At Trader Joe’s tonight
doobie doobie doo, etc.
