| Facts: |
| The original version of this song is ""Working at the Woolco Manager Trainee", which was written by Leon Dubinsky of
Englishtown CB and Max McDonald of Sidney CB.
Buddy & the Boys released the "Woolco" version on their first outing "Buddy". The original lyrics are:
Workin at the Woolco Manager trainee
Dollar forty four day, house ware aisle three.
I was takin out the garbage when they opened up the door
A stampede of crazy shoppers knocked me to the floor
Chorus
Last week I was in hardware, this week I'm in shoes.
I got the working at the Woolco, Manager trainee blues
Taking out the garbage and sweepin up the floor
Learn how to sell, what an awful bore
They promise a promotion but I think it's a joke
Can't wait for my lunch break to sneak out for a toke (smoke)
Chorus
Eatin at the red grill nearly every single day
The spoons are made of plastic, the soup is kinda grey
You get up to have coffee, someone steals your seat
French fries and gravy are the only thing to eat
Chorus
Listening to muzak hour after hour
Surrounded day and night by phoney flowers
Florescent lighting is eating out my brain
"Attention Woolco Shoppers" is driving me insane.
Chorus (Backwoods) |

| Song Lyrics: |
Workin' at the K-Mart, Manager Trainee
Blue Light Special day, Housewares, aisle three
I was puttin' up the Bic pens when they opened up the door
Stampede of crazy ladies knocked me to the floor
Last week I was in Hardware,
And this week I am in Shoes
I got the workin' at the K-Mart
Manager Trainee blues
Eating at the grill nearly every single day
The spoons are made of plastic, my soup looks kinda grey
Get up to buy a coffee, someone steals your seat
French fries and gravy are the only things to eat
Last week I was in Hardware,
This week I am in Shoes
I got the workin' at the K-Mart
Manager Trainee blues
I do, I truly do
Whoo!
They're teachin' me the layout of this lovely store
I'm learning how to sell - what an awful bore
The fluorescent lighting is eating out my brain
"Attention K-Mart shoppers!" is driving me insane
Last week I was in Hardware,
And this week I am in Shoes
I got the workin' at the K-Mart
I'm workin' at the K-Mart
Even Eddie Van Halen shops at K-Mart
And Clarence Clemons shops at K-Mart
K-Mart blues (Backwoods) |
