Truth is better than fiction. A friend told me about getting kicked out of Costco. You just can't make this stuff up. Here is the song:
Kicked out (Datta 10/13/2019)
Dm
Bb F
C
- I was kicked out of Costco but it’s not what you’re thinking
Not for eating all the
samples after I’d been drinking
Not from paying pennies
when I did have cash
I was kicked out of Costco
for doing some math
- I was having a gathering for a close group of friends
And my sweetheart warned
me- be careful what I spend
So I grabbed a cart- then
I had a thought-
I should figure this out
and see how dear it will cost.
Chorus) They kicked me out-
Shout it out----- get out
- I was pushing my cart and roaming the aisles
Writing
down the cost of roast beef and pies.
Wine
and cake --beer and iced tea.
Getting
math right is important to me
- When a tough guy stepped up to me with a fearsome frown
Blocked
my path and asked what I was writing down.
I said
Sir step aside there’s no need to be so crass
I am
writing down prices and checking my math
Chorus
- He and a larger friend took me by the arm.
I
tried to back away-- told them I meant no harm
They
claimed from Sam’s club- I don’t know this Sam
Why
would I join his club? HE KNOWS NOT WHO I AM
- So I gathered up my dignity and my shopping list
And I
walked out the door yelling I’ve had enough of this.
You
can keep the bulk items- the crates and the bales
I’ll
go find the one called Sam and see what he has for sale.
Chorus
