Said the vendor to the customers
You will hear these songs clear!
All throughout the store, customers
You will hear about cheer!
The noise, the noise
How my eardrums blew
With those ads as loud as the Who
With those songs as loud as the Who

Said the customer to the Safeway boss
"Can you turn the tunes down?"
"In your noisy store, Safeway boss"
"Feel like I'm going to drown"
"Cannot, cannot"
Says poor shouting he
"It is all controlled by not me!"
"It is all controlled centrally!"

Said the Boss and the corporation there
Listen to what I play
Shop around, maybe else somewhere
You will hear what they play!
Those songs, those songs
Oh, so gay and bright
They will bring on gag reflex tonight
They will bring on heaving through the night

That crap, that crap
Haunting me at night
Do you fear what I fear
This blight
