Lyrics

"Cheap Sunglasses"

Tony gets up in the morning with a shopping list in his head
Can’t find the fancy shoes in his size, the ones with the special tread
Ain't getting discount deals, his anger mounts, and sales clerks he harasses
So he drops two hundred bucks on some new sunglasses
Oh yeah! Tony! Oy veh!

Buying sweaters at a shoe store doesn’t sound all that bright
Drops eight bills on junk he doesn’t need, shopping angry, knuckles white
Comes up empty at the outlet for Cole-Hahns and the Basses
So he storms into the Hut to buy some more sunglasses
Oh yeah! Tony! Oh yeah!
