Peanut Butter Conspiracy
By: Jimmy Buffett
1973
CLooking back at my Ghard luck days
I Freally do have to Claugh
CWorking in a dive for Gtwenty six dollars
FSpending it all on Ggrass
FWe were hungry Chard luck heros
FTrying just to stay Galive
FWe'd go down to the Ccorner drug
DThis is how we'd surGvive
Chorus:
CWho's going to steal the peanut butter?
FI'll get a can of sarCdines
CRunning up and down the aisle of the mini mart
FSticking food in our Gjeans
We Fnever took more than Cwe could eat
There was Fplenty left on the Grack
FWe all swore if we Cever got rich
GWe would pay the mini mart Cback
FYes Csir! FYes Csir!
GWe would pay the mini mart Cback
It was a two man operation
Had it all down on a note
Ricky would watch that big round mirror
And I'd fill up my coat
Then we'd head for the checkout aisle
With a lemon and a bottle of beer
Into to the car, got to make it on home
Supper time's gettin' near
(Repeat chorus)
I guess every good picker has had some hard times
I sure had my share
It's really kind of funny to laugh at it now
But I don't want to go back there
So every now and then when I'm in the grocery
I take a little but not much
You never know when those hard times will hit you
And I don't want to lose my touch
(Repeat chorus)
