Lyrics:
This is a song about a magical place...
Going to the grocery store
And buy a cantelope
Go to the grocery store
And buy myself a steak
Back to the fruit
Pick up another cantelope
Find the Betty Crocker
Gonna bake a birthday cake
Oh yeah
So many things at the grocery store

You can buy a pair of scissors
Or a pint of chow mein
You can buy some daisies
That are wrapped in celephane
Do you need envelopes
Do you need cat toys
Do you need stain remover
For your favorite courdoroys
Oh yeah
So many things at the grocery store

Okay here’s a question for you
Dare I say, food for thought…and more!
Why is all the fruit not in an aisle
It’s always to the left or the right when you walk through the door
This is so consistent at the grocery store

Let’s buy cereal
Let’s buy fudgsicles
Also don’t forget
You should buy a frozen pizza
How bout a giant cookie
And a can of whipped cream
A bunch of printer paper
And a garden magazine
Oh yeah
So many things at the grocery store

They get creative with the soda
Pepsi boxes stacked like bricks
A lady hands out meatballs
That are served with tiny toothpicks

You can buy a starter log
If you wanna start a fire
You can buy deodorant
So you can be desire
Oh yeah…so many things at the grocery store

It’s funny when a grocery store goes a little bit rogue
For example, let me tell you bout when I was 14…
A few aisles from the aforementioned fruit
My mom bought me navy blue snowsuit
Oh Yeah I wore a snowsuit from the grocery store
Got a snowsuit at the grocery store

So many types of jello
Looks like 30 kinds of jello
Can you believe
They have one called melon fusion
Lets stick to strawberry
Or maybe wild cherry
Or how bout classic lime
Let’s not get so disillusioned
In conclusion
Who needs melon fusion

When you can go to the grocery store
And buy a cantelope
Go to the grocery store
And buy yourself a steak
Go back to the fruit,
Pick out another cantelope
Find the Betty crocker
Gonna make a birthday cake
Oh yeah so many things at the grocery store

Wishing Kate a quick recovery and a long healthy life!

I'm so used to Garfunkel and Oates that I kept waiting for the hard left turn. I was nor prepared for this level of wholesomeness.

[jadeed]

Wait, was that just a piece of genuine, one-level deep content about things you can buy at a grocery store? No subversion of the narrative? No bitter underlaying commentary on the grim reality we live in? Oddly refreshing.

[emv]

It's amazing that Kate can make what I experience as a sensory hellscape seem so whimsical and fun

[robertvirnig]

There appears to be a whole genre of songs about store inventory. This one fits right in with Macklemore's "Thrift Store" and Weird Al's "Hardware Store."

[AMcGrath]

I swear she's been adorable for decades now. Hasn't aged a day.

[johnnyphever]

This needs to be a Netflix series. Kate Micucci just going to places in town and singing about them.

[Fritz_Schlunder]

This woman seems rather under appreciated by the entertainment industry. She is so much more unique compared to the average star of Hollywood.

Perhaps being too unique is disadvantageous in Hollywood, as it requires people to write roles specifically for you, rather than being cast into a generic role (that could be fulfilled by any number of possible candidates).

In the late 90s my friend would drive me to the grocery store at 10PM and we would dance in the aisle to whatever music they were playing and make fun of how they put the rat poison right next to the chocolate bars. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

[barkboingfloom]

I've been working in retail grocery for 20 years. I think I now have an anthem. Thanks, Kate!

[RealMenWorshipZeus]

How is she so ridiculously adorable? Also, yeah, I often forget how crazy grocery stores are. Holy shit.

[chickensmack]

My wife has always hated grocery shopping, so I've been doing most of that for our family for the past 35 years.
She always seems confused at why it takes me so long. This song kind of covers it. :)

[BrianMankin]

We are living enchanted lives and we take it all for granted.

[sleepingwolf_]

And people say life's boring. Some people can just make the most mundane thing in life fun. But only a few can do it with that much talente🤗

[reghunt]

Look how cute she is, and she's a sweetie too 🥰

[keithernet]

This is an absolute delight. Thank you for turning a rather mundane task into a light, comic musical adventure. You're an gem, Kate. 🥥🥝

[jonh]

How is this not the music that's always playing in a grocery store?!

[BoogerDad]

If someone doesn't recognize how hilariously fantastic this woman is at wholesome, family friendly content, I'm gonna freak out. She's very clearly a cash cow that noone is squeezing

[richardlongmore]

I love this girl. She needs to have her own show

[CyberTapir]

It' like Weird Al's Hardware Store, but for groceries! Great song, 5/5
