Corner Store on Christmas Songtext
von Bowling for Soup

I spent a dollar on some gum at the Corner Store on Christmas.

I hit the Corner Store on Christmas Day,
And as my friend Gary Wiseman used to always say,
If it′s convenience you want, then you're gonna′ have to pay.

Two dollars on some Lottery Tickets,
And a dollar on some gum at the Corner Store on Christmas.

I hit the Corner Store on Christmas Day,
And as my friend Gary Wiseman used to always say,
If it's convenience you want, then you're gonna′ have to pay.

Three dollars on some balm for my lips,
Two dollars on some Lottery Tickets,
And a dollar on some gum at the Corner Store on Christmas.

And as my friend Gary Wiseman used to always say,

Four dollars on a sandwich for the ride home,
Three dollars on some balm for my lips,
Two dollars on some Lottery Tickets,
And a dollar on some gum at the Corner Store on Christmas.
