The Dollar Store Song

Liner Notes

#funny #fuc *Lyrics written by my son (age 11).

Lyrics

VERSE 1
(C) I went down to the (G) dollar store
to (F) buy a toothbrush (C) nothing more
(G) Everything was (F) fine
till I (C) got to the checkout (G) line
and the (F) total there was (G) three ninety (C) nine

CHORUS
(G) Why would you sell stuff at the (F) dollar store
for (G) more than a (C) dollar?
(G) Why would you sell things for
(F) more than the advertised (C) price?

VERSE 2
(C) When you do these things (G) to my brain
it (F) makes my mind (G) go insane
(G) written on that (F) sign
it (C) says dollar (G) store
so (F) why sell a toothbrush for (G) three ninety (C) nine?

CHORUS

Just churning through the random song dice roll and came across this sweet lil gem. At first, not having read the title, I was assuming it was going to be an homage to Kevin in Home Alone but then loved instead the rant about dollar store being disingenuous! I'm with your 11 year old on this!

Having worked at a dollar store one summer when I was in college, I really feel this! I love that your son wrote the lyrics. Congrats to him! He did a fantastic job, as did you crafting it into a funny and relatable song!
