The Pop Opera Of Supermarket Sweep

Trenchcoat Club


Mr Yuck: which aisle will i run down, i shall keep thou guessing 
i'm an inch from attacking your shopping cart 
but wait, here's tasty paul newman salad dressing 

i am mr. yuck, i am mr. yuck 

yesterday: the alien. tomorrow: banana slug
time to chase the shoppers, the shoppers
but first, time for a celeste pizza plug 

i am mr. yuck i am mr. yuck 

Brubrek Chorus: oh no, it's mr. yuck, bobby better run
in the opposite direction, toward the smoked ham 

Bobby the Contestant: running in the opposite direction, my feet 
somehow in biz markie, south dakota, life incomplete 
i was in the check-out line, i heard that beep 
i thought of the fun i could be having on supermarket sweep 

la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la 

running on from mr. yuck, i don't have nine lives 
of course, my limit of tasty, juicy honeybaked hams is five 
only one lobster, that's three less than five
oh what i'd ring up on 'rodeo drive' 

keep on shopping, keep on shopping, keep on shopping, don't stop 

Brubrek Chorus: look at bobby snatching up that lobster, 
and the crowd is cheering him on 
but he'll have to have eyes in the back of his head 
to watch out for mr. yuck 

Mr. Yuck: i am mr. yuck i am mr. yuck 
these customers are fast 
but i am mr. yuck 

bare my fangs and plastic mask
and why not use wd-40 when those darn hinges get stuck 

Brubrek Chorus: apparently, mr. yuck is going to go 
yet another episode
without actually seeing or scaring a contestant
but when you see him, you'll know why we call him mr. yuck 

Bobby: i am bobby, see my shopping cart roll 
i hope nobody saw those three perdue chickens that i stole 
there he is, in my cart, but he doesn't want to hurt me 
apparently, he's fascinated by products from chef boyardee 

so i'll keep on shopping, keep on shopping, keep on shopping, don't stop 

keep on shopping 

Mr. Yuck: i am mr. yuck 
Bobby: keep on shopping 
Mr. Yuck: i am mr. yuck 
Bobby: keep on shopping 
Mr. Yuck: i am mr. yuck
he'll keep on shopping 
Bobby: he's mr. yuck 

Mr. Yuck: i am mr. yuck i am mr. yuck
the show is at the end, bobby won the sweep 

damn it, i am mr. yuck 
and i wish bobby hadn't thrown that tub pack of pamper on my feet 

Everybody: keep on shopping, shopping, keep on, keep on shopping
