By: jimmy buffett<br>1973<br>Lookin' back at my hard luck days<br>I really do have to laugh<br>Workin' in a dive for twenty six dollars<br>Spendin' it all on grass<br>We were hungry hard-luck heroes<br>Tryin' just to stay alive<br>We'd go down to the corner grocery<br>This is how we'd survive<br><br>Chorus:<br>Who's gonna steal the peanut butter<br>I'll get the can of sardines<br>Runnin' up and down the aisle of the mini mart<br>Stickin' food in our jeans<br>We never took more than we could eat<br>There was plenty left on the rack<br>We all swore if we ever got rich<br>We would pay the mini mart back<br>Yes sir! yes sir!<br>We would pay the mini mart back<br><br>It was a two man operation<br>Had it all down on a note<br>Ricky would watch that big round mirror<br>And I'd fill up my coat<br>Then we'd head for the check-out aisle<br>With a lemon and a bottle of beer<br>Into the car, got to make it on home<br>Suppertime's getting near<br><br>Chorus:<br>So who's gonna steal the peanut butter<br>I'll get the can of sardines<br>Runnin' up and down the aisle of the mini mart<br>Stickin' food in our jeans<br>Never took more than we could eat<br>There was plenty left on the rack<br>We all swore if we ever got rich<br>We would pay the mini mart back<br>Yes sir! yes sir!<br>We would pay the mini mart back<br><br>I guess every good picker has had some hard times<br>I sure had my share<br>It's really kinda funny to laugh at 'em now<br>But I don't want to go back there<br>So every now and then when I'm in the grocery<br>I'll take a little but not much<br>'cause you never know when those hard times'll hitcha<br>And I don't want to lose my touch<br><br>Chorus:<br>So who's gonna steal the peanut butter<br>I'll get the can of sardines<br>Runnin' up and down the aisle of the mini mart<br>Stickin' food in our jeans<br>We never took more than we could eat<br>There was plenty left on the rack<br>We all swore if we ever got rich<br>We would pay the mini mart back<br>Yes sir! yes sir!<br>We would pay the mini mart back<br>Yes sir, yes sir<br>We would pay the mini mart back
