The Aldi Car Park Blues
Verse 1
Got a trolley full of holy ones, wheels wobbling down the road, Got a trolley full of holy ones, wheels wobbling down the road, I am in this Aldi car park, carrying my load.
Verse 2
Buddha by the biscuits, Jesus drooling by the wine, Buddha by the biscuits, Jesus drooling by the wine, Confucius by the toilet rolls saying, “Son, you’ll be just fine.”
Verse 3
Shamans in the child seat, rattles shaking in the breeze, Shamans in the child seat, rattles shaking in the breeze, Dreamtime is in the pharmacy saying, “Ibuprofen please.”
Verse 4
Zoroaster’s shivering between the frozen peas, Zoroaster’s shivering between the frozen peas, Shinto hanging onto the handle, saying, “Keep your mind at ease.”
Verse 5
Baha’i at the butchers, saying peace to everyone, Baha’i at the butchers, saying peace to everyone, Animism in the monkey house sayin’, “Life lives on and on.”
Verse 6
Trolley wheel’s a‑wobbling, my feet stay on the ground, Trolley wheel’s a‑wobbling, my feet stay on the ground, Earth stays on its orbit, spinning round and round.
Refrain
I shall not, I shall not be moved, I shall not, I shall not be moved, Like a trolley in Aldi’s trolley rack, I shall not be moved.
P.S. Daft is the Raft that will save us!
