Whoopsy Aisle
Whizzing with my shopping trolley
Down the whoopsy aisle,
Stacking it up to the top with
Anything worthwhile:
Two roast chickens, new potatoes,
Carrots, broccoli,
Loads of bread and bags of pastries,
All for 50p!

Now, here’s a tip, the prices drop Close to closing time.
You could rock up every night, it’s
Really not a crime!
In fact, it is the only way we
Know how to get by.
Yeah, shopping for my family
Can be – do or die!
So, whizz with your shopping trolley
Down the whoopsy aisle.
Yeah, whizz with your shopping trolley
And do it with style!
