lyrics

Why do they call it a supermarket?
There's nothing super about it
They move all the things round
And do a confusings
I think mister Tesco must find it amusing
To bamboozle us old folks
They're constantly changing
The layout
It's a bloody joke!

Please mister Tesco
I implore you in song!
Stop piddling about
With the tea and the scones
The bread and the biscuits
The rum and blancmange
The dog food and Werther's
You must know it's wrong

The chopping and changing
Is driving me mental
It gives me a headache
Makes me sentimental
About the good old days
When all was well
And the order of things
Didn't resemble hell

I can't find anything
They're constantly moving
My routine is buggered
And I'll bet they're all in the back
Laughing at us, dears!

Oh, I don't like the Tesco
Let's go to Aldi's!

Please mister T
Be the host with the mostest
Or the pensioners will
Stand outside, on a protest
Shaking their sticks
And burning their vests
Padlocked and chained to your rubbish fence

They say that it's due
To customer feedback
But I highly bloody doubt it!
It's all about money
And it's about time
That somebody shouts about it

Let's all shout about it!
Let's go and complain!
