Lyrics:
This is a song about a magical place...
Going to the grocery store
And buy a cantelope
Go to the grocery store
And buy myself a steak
Back to the fruit
Pick up another cantelope
Find the Betty Crocker
Gonna bake a birthday cake
Oh yeah
So many things at the grocery store
You can buy a pair of scissors
Or a pint of chow mein
You can buy some daisies
That are wrapped in celephane
Do you need envelopes
Do you need cat toys
Do you need stain remover
For your favorite courdoroys
Oh yeah
So many things at the grocery store
Okay here’s a question for you
Dare I say, food for thought…and more!
Why is all the fruit not in an aisle
It’s always to the left or the right when you walk through the door
This is so consistent at the grocery store
Let’s buy cereal
Let’s buy fudgsicles
Also don’t forget
You should buy a frozen pizza
How bout a giant cookie
And a can of whipped cream
A bunch of printer paper
And a garden magazine
Oh yeah
So many things at the grocery store
They get creative with the soda
Pepsi boxes stacked like bricks
A lady hands out meatballs
That are served with tiny toothpicks
You can buy a starter log
If you wanna start a fire
You can buy deodorant
So you can be desire
Oh yeah…so many things at the grocery store
It’s funny when a grocery store goes a little bit rogue
For example, let me tell you bout when I was 14…
A few aisles from the aforementioned fruit
My mom bought me navy blue snowsuit
Oh Yeah I wore a snowsuit from the grocery store
Got a snowsuit at the grocery store
So many types of jello
Looks like 30 kinds of jello
Can you believe
They have one called melon fusion
Lets stick to strawberry
Or maybe wild cherry
Or how bout classic lime
Let’s not get so disillusioned
In conclusion
Who needs melon fusion
When you can go to the grocery store
And buy a cantelope
Go to the grocery store
And buy yourself a steak
Go back to the fruit,
Pick out another cantelope
Find the Betty crocker
Gonna make a birthday cake
Oh yeah so many things at the grocery store

I'm so used to Garfunkel and Oates that I kept waiting for the hard left turn. I was nor prepared for this level of wholesomeness.

Kate is a pretty prolific voice actor in kids' cartoons. Of course she can be wholesome.

Wait, was that just a piece of genuine, one-level deep content about things you can buy at a grocery store? No subversion of the narrative? No bitter underlaying commentary on the grim reality we live in? Oddly refreshing.

There is actually reason for the fruits being next to the doors. Studies have concluded that having bright colors (different fruits in bright lights) when you walk in "wakes you up" and makes you buy more. Same reason why milk is almost always in the furthest corner, it is made so you need to walk through whole store and maybe pickup more than you came to buy. It's crazy how much they put into how they setup grocery stores.

[@Fritz_Schlunder]

This woman seems rather under appreciated by the entertainment industry. She is so much more unique compared to the average star of Hollywood. Perhaps being too unique is disadvantageous in Hollywood, as it requires people to write roles specifically for you, rather than being cast into a generic role (that could be fulfilled by any number of possible candidates).

You're oh so right. As a tourist from Brasil, I remember going to Food Lion in Williamsburg-VA. It was our salvation! I was tired of pizza and hotdogs and Chinese buffets. The lodging where my sister, her husband and I were staying had a kitchen. We found most of we wanted for our meals, such as rice, beans, fruit, vegetables and beef. My sister cooked and prepared the meals we would eat between our walks. I had to wash the dishes. I should protest, for I was also the interpreter and guide. But, I was so happy to be able to eat real food again. And we saved a lotta dough too.
