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
DSticking food in our jeaGns
We Fnever took more than Cwe could eat
There was Fplenty left on the racGk

FThen we'd head for the Ccheckout aisle
With a Flemon and a bottle of Gbeer
FInto to the car, got to Cmake it on home
DSupper time's gettin' Gnear
