The Grocer's Trick

Verse 1

Silver coin

Spent it on a whim

Grocery man grinned a crooked grin

Round and heavy

Bumpy skin

Smells like a swamp in a rusty tin

Rough

Really rough

The butcher had no beef left on the shelf

Chorus

What do I do with a mystery fruit

Stuck with a pit and a velvet suit

No steak

No salt

No fire for the pan

Worst meal plan for a hungry man

What do I do

What do I do

What do I do

Verse 2

Greenish mush

Oozing on the plate

How am I supposed to celebrate

Poked it with a fork

It poked back

Found a black seed in a narrow crack

Bitter

Tastes bitter

I wanted a ribeye dripping in grease

I wanted a ribeye dripping in grease

Chorus

What do I do with a mystery fruit

Stuck with a pit and a velvet suit

No steak

No salt

No fire for the pan

Worst meal plan for a hungry man

What do I do

What do I do

What do I do

Bridge

Chew it

Swallow it

Regret it

My stomach is humming a lonesome tune

Staring at the wall by the yellow moon

Kitchen is cold

Stove is dead

Wishing for a slice of rye bread instead

Chorus

What do I do with a mystery fruit

Stuck with a pit and a velvet suit

No steak

No salt

No fire for the pan

Worst meal plan for a hungry man

What do I do

What do I do

What do I do

Outro

Bad trade

Wrong bag

Mystery fruit

Just a mystery fruit

Hungry tonight

Yeah

Hungry tonight
