Parody Song Title:	"How Can You Steer These Shopping Carts?"
Parody Written by:	Merry & Pippin

I can think just yesterday when shopping for my wife
Was everything this man was told to do
I would rather steal or borrow
Than do this all again this time tomorrow

And how can you steer these shopping carts?
How can you stop those cans from falling down?
How can I stop my son from whining?
Why won't the wheels go round?
How can I mend this broken ham?
How did I drop it on my shin?
Please save me from these shopping carts
With vibrative front ends!

I can swear aisles do tease - just tell me why oh please
The products migrated from day to day?
Stand in line and read the Star - oh!
'Elvis in a Ford with ol' Vic Morrow!'

And how can you steer these shopping carts?
How can you stop these grapes from turning brown?
How can you stop the clerk opining
'Bout sales on old ground round?

Why don't they stock my fav'rite brand?
Will all my ice-cream melt again?
I'm stuck here with these shopping carts -
I've missed the game again
I'm stuck here with these shopping carts -
She's home watching Roseanne.

Great job. Royce, don't say they have two heads, they've messed with Malcolm's mind enough as it is..."shopping for my wife"?

why don't we steer the shopping cart of identities to the forefront again, and admit what we are mer and pip?

Let's see....'shopping for my wife' indicates a 90% chance of maleness, but that doesnt say which is which.... Anyway, great job guys! Straight 5s

Muwahahaha! You all think too much! Wife rhymes with Life from the original - anything else is pure conjecture! (Or is it....?)

You two have a great gift and your share that gift with us through your humor. I just gotta tell ya Thanks ! Yes, maybe we take ourselves much too seriously !

Great stuff as always.

Nice job, I found the rhyming in 'aisles do tease/ why oh please' worthy of kudos and I guess this is a heartfelt tale of how hard it is pushing a shopping trolley when your two heads keep arguing which way to go. ;) 5-4-4

Isn't there a grocery store chain called something like "M&P"? If not, there oughtta be. You're a reliable distributor of quality items. My fave bits were the ham and the grapes.

Meriadoc - June 17, 2004 - Report this comment

Thanks all! Spaff, that was A&P.... :-)

Pretty funny, wouldn't have come up with this idea, yet I live through it once a week!
