<br />
Verse 1<br />
I went down to the A&P<br />
To get some food for my lady and me<br />
On the shelf was some wonder bread<br />
I was amazed when that bread said<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Won’t you buy me, try me, take me home<br />
They advertise me on radio and TV<br />
That don’t say much about me<br />
Cause they don’t want for you to know<br />
Just to buy me<br />
<br />
Verse 2<br />
I went down to the Payless shoe store<br />
They had boxes of shoes from the ceiling to the floor<br />
I saw a pair and thought I’d give then a try<br />
As I did I heard those shoes cry<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Won’t you buy me, try me, take me home<br />
They advertise me on the radio<br />
That don’t say much about me<br />
Cause they don’t want for you to know<br />
Just to buy me<br />
<br />
I’ll break one day after your guarantee runs out<br />
It’ll make you scream, it will make you shout<br />
<br />
Verse 3<br />
So I was walking on down the street<br />
Who in the hell do you think I should meet<br />
It’s George W and his puppet master Chaney<br />
He said we’ll do whatever you want<br />
As long as you pay me<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Won’t you buy me, try me, take me home<br />
They advertise me on radio and TV<br />
That don’t say much about me<br />
Cause they don’t want for you to know<br />
Just to buy me<br />
<br />
Send lots of money<br />
I bought the Presidency<br />
That satisfied me, so<br />
Buy me, try me, take me home<br />
Buy me, try me, take me home<br />
Buy me, try me, take me home<br />
Buy me<br />
<br />
