Not hungry, not starving, got some money to spend
I see a 99 cent store comin’ round the bend
I look in the window and I can’t resist
Watch out boys, I got a shopping list
Snapple and popcorn and Chef Boy Aur Dee
Sunshine dog food and Chicken of the Sea
99 Cent Store, 99 Cent Store
I brough home twice as much as I was sent for
99 Cent Store, 99 Cent Store
Think of all the money I’ll have to pay the rent for
No need for price tags, no need for receipts
No need to price check these Hormel lunch treats
Index cards and coconut cookies
so much crème, you’ll be squealin’ like a wookie
Lint free cheesecloth and Sara Lee cheesecake
So many note books it’ll make your knees quake
Shower caps, oven mits and a meat thermometer
I can see paper goods for a good kilometer
99 cent Store, 99 Cent Store
I brough home twice as much as I was sent for
99 Cent Store, 99 Cent Store
this is what livin’ the good life was meant for
Who would have thought
that all of life’s treasures
Could be so easily bought
for such reasonable measures
Some say the city has got no charm
I’d like to see them buy all this stuff on the farm
Pakistan merchants you did a good thing
For 99 cents you can live like a king.
Finally my wallet’s on even footing
Look at all this Snack Pack pudding
99 cent Store, 99 Cent Store
I brough home twice as much as I was sent for
99 Cent Store, 99 Cent Store
this is what livin’ the good life was meant for
Talk about getting a bang for your buck
You get a penny back and you can keep it for luck
99 cent Store, 99 Cent Store
I brough home twice as much as I was sent for
99 Cent Store, 99 Cent Store
this is what livin’ the good life was meant for
