[Verse 1]
G
Got the craving for some lunch,
                Bb         C
But I ain't got nothing to munch
G
My mind is set on just one wish
                     Bb   C
A big ol' sandwich - tuna fish
G
Time to make a grocery run,
                       Bb      C
I'll walk there in the morning sun
G
Make a list of what I need most:
              Bb         C
Tuna fish and bread (for toast)
G
And though my stomach may be empty,
                           Bb      C
I'll feed my head from the horn of plenty
G
Roll a joint Bob Marley style
                      Bb       C
And smoke it 'till it makes me smile

[Verse 2]
G
Starting off in aisle one,
                   Bb     C
Fruits and veggies by the ton
G
Hey check it out, raddiccio!
                       Bb          C
These red leaves, man, they almost glow!
G
And bok choy! I've always wanted to try it,
                   Bb        C
I wonder if I have enough to buy it?
G
It's grown in Japan, or maybe China,
                      Bb    C
Or maybe some farm in South Carolina?
G
Just then I hear a voice in my head:
                    Bb     C
"Stay focused, man, tuna & bread"
G
But right now I'm in produce bliss
G
Oh man, I'm too high for this

[Chorus]
G
Too high for the supermarket,
                 Bb      C
Too high for the grocery store
G
Too high for the supermarket,
                      Bb      C
Ain't gonna shop like this no more

G
Too high for the supermarket,
                 Bb      C
Too high for the grocery store
G
Too high for the supermarket,
                      Bb      C
Ain't gonna shop like this no more

[Verse 3]
G
Sixteen different brands of tuna,
                      Bb  C
Chicken of the Sea or Big Kahuna
G
Packed in oil, packed in water,
                  Bb      C
Dolphin friendly, dolphin slaughtered
G
And oh God, what about the bread?
                      Bb    C
Should I get white or wheat instead?
G
Or... rye! Rye's the best I've tasted
G
Rye is best when ever you're wasted!

[Chorus]
G
Too high for the supermarket,
                 Bb      C
Too high for the grocery store
G
Too high for the supermarket,
                      Bb      C
Ain't gonna shop like this no more

G
Too high for the supermarket,
                 Bb      C
Too high for the grocery store
G
Too high for the supermarket,
                      Bb      C
Ain't gonna shop like this no more

[Bridge]
G5
Finally done, its check-out time,
G5
Searching for the shortest line
            G5
The Express Lane! But they don't take checks.
           G5
And you've got to have ten items or less,
         G5
So let's see... Ding Dongs, a bag of chips,
G5
Cap'n Crunch and some onion dip,
       G5
(It's sugar and salt, space and schism,
G5
The yin and yang of munchie Taoism)
G5
I got my favorite beer, Carlinger,
        G5
And pre-sweetened Kool-Aid you eat with your finger
G5
You lick your finger then you stick in in the bag,
         G5
then you stick in down your throat but not too far or you'll gag
G5
That's less than ten! Check me out, go ahead!
G5
Oh, I forgot the tuna and the bread...


[Chorus]
G
Too high for the supermarket,
                 Bb      C
Too high for the grocery store
G
Too high for the supermarket,
                      Bb      C
Ain't gonna shop like this no more

G
Too high for the supermarket,
                 Bb      C
Too high for the grocery store
G
Too high for the supermarket,
                      Bb      C
Ain't gonna shop like this no more

[Outro]
C7
Too high (too high!)
G
Too high (too high!)
C7                   G
Way too high for the supermarket, yeah
