Video Bargainville Songtext
von Moxy Früvous

(Jian, speaking/whispering)
Take... We can take a trip up to the corner...
Corner... corner... It′s not too far...

Ok, I'm ready, anytime.

(Jian)
I have a college pal who
Says we can pay one price for two
Uhh, Just ask for ′Roger', at

(All)
Video Bargainville

(Spoken by Jian)
We can take a trip up to the corner, it's not too far, especially in the car
There′s a friendly store with nice decore, and lots of posters on the door
Once past the counter and the news stand, with a free bag of popcorn in your hand
You′re ready for the world - No, not the band... But a fine selection in video land


Don't be too confused by the little reviews
On the back of the box, just pick up the boxes, all the boxes you can use
The hipedi-hoppest videos in the land
Maybe something foreign, maybe something panned, maybe something formerly banned
Perhaps it′s something you can watch with friends, or something that inevitably lends
Itself to shapely curves and bends of exploited women and their friends
Perhaps it's "New York, New York" with Liza Minnelli and Mickey Rourke
No. That′s not right... It was Robert Deniro, everyone's favorite video hero

(All)
I have a college pal who
Says we can pay one price for two
Just ask for ′Roger'
At Video Bargainville

(Jian speaking)
So contrary to the desparate sign, most patrons always "please rewind!"
And the clerks don't mind, they′re very kind, the only stickler has resigned
There′s a courteous smoking section in the back, behind the bulging exercise video rack
If you're tired, you can hit the sack with the new Ben-Hur trendy disco double pack

(All)
I have a college pal who
Says we can pay one price for two
Just ask for ′Roger'
At Video Bargainville

(Solos - and spoken words by Jian (regarding movies) that really can′t be made out)


? I recall, not so long ago, walking into Video Bargainville... you
Know (?) stores not unlike most post-World War Two capitalist
Democracy video stores. My father and I rented Moonstruck with
Cher, I've always had a soft spot for Cher...(?)...depending
On how long her hair is, or how long the film is - but that′s
Another story.?

(Funny voices)
Once we had a friend
Was too extravagant
Was not a Bargainville fan

(Jian)
Pissed off the video man!

Soon there will be "program your own" TV, So they ask you to heed this final plea
Before it's all dead you should rent more, and enjoy video bargains galore!

(Repeated 3 times)
I have a college pal who
Says we can pay one price for two
Just ask for 'Roger′
At Video Bargainville
