Man in the Corner Shop Songtext
von The Jam

Puts up the ′Closed' sign
Does the man in the Corner Shop
Serves his last
Then he says goodbye to him
He knows it is a hard life
But it′s nice to be your own boss, really

Walks off home
Does the last customer
He is jealous
Of the man in the Corner Shop
He's sick of working at the Factory
He says it must be nice
To be your own boss, really

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la


Sells cigars to the boss from the Factory
He is jealous
Is the man in the Corner Shop
He is sick of struggling so hard
Says it must be nice to own a Factory

Go to Church
Do the people from the area
All shapes and classes
Sit and pray together
For here they are all one
For God created all men equal

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Go to Church
Do the people from the area
Go to Church
Do the people from the area
Go to Church
Do the people from the area
For God created all men equal


They know, that God created all men equal
They know, that God created all men equal
They know, that God created all men equal
They know, that God created all men equal
They know

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
