Lyrics

Down in Northwest DC
There is a Safeway
I call the "Refugee"
A couple of blocks down Connecticut
that's where I go on my shopping sprees

The time has come
some coupons I'll clip
to buy my snacks
I'm gonna take a trip

The time has come
to change my store!
Because the stuff I need
they never have anymore.....

The Refugee Safeway isn't great I'm learnin'
So what do I do when there's no "Lucerne" in?

For Coffee Ice cream you know that I've been yearnin'….
but when they don't have it well my blood starts burnin'

I get so pissed, a fact's a fact !
When the Cottage Cheese section's just an empty rack.....
