Cantado por: Apu y los Squishees
Breve comentario:
Un Apu ligeramente afónico canta acerca de qué tan duro es poner a funcionar una tienda de artículos varios, veinticuatro horas al día.

Hello, baby.
It is Apu to whom you are speaking. What's that,
baby? You are proposing we have a cook-out at the
beach, Then tear a page from the Kama Sutra 'til the
sun rises over the distant sea? Sorry, baby, that's
impossible. I own a convenient store and baby, you
know what that's like.
Got to sell the roadmaps,
got to move the twelve packs. I'm printing out the
tickets for the lottery. Move out all that trail mix,
make room for the beef sticks. Informing all the
punks: "This is not a library", hey! Yes, we have
some string cheese, I'll have to check those
IDs, We're running out of Half-of-Life and
Sweet'n'Low, oh. Would you like some jerky? It comes
in beef or turkey. You see what I am up to, baby, I
can't go.

I'm working
twenty-four hours a day, That don't leave no time
left to play. We're open twenty-four hours a
day, That don't leave no time left to play, no, no,
no.

Hey, if I
deserted my post, who would be refilling the jalepeno
receptor? You? I don't think so. I make coffee for
the riff-raff: regular and decaf. Eight ounce, twelve
ounce, twenty ounce -- one for the road,
sir? Heat-lamp dogs and cheetos, microwave
burritos, Obey the printed warning, or it's sure to
explode! I sit out front the magazines in which the
subject matter's clean, Behind the culture, the adult
variety. It won't help to make a fuss, I do not make
change for the bus, To use the restroom, you must be
an employee.

I'm working
twenty-four hours a day, That don't leave no time
left to play. We're open twenty-four hours a
day, That don't leave no time left to play, no, no,
no. Twenty-four hours a day, That don't leave no
time left to play, no, no. Twenty-four hours a
day, That don't leave no time left to play, no, no,
no, yes, yes, yes.

I came to
this country from a far away south continent, With
dreams to make a fortune in the movie industry. But
instead, I'm making squishes in a checkered dress. Oh
how I wish The camera on the ceiling wasn't just
there for security, oh.
Alright, I feel much
better now. I caught a little sad there, now I'm very
happy again. Oh, this is good. Yes, I like this, this
is my favorite part of the song! Yes, my great-aunt
Pirani used to dance to this. She used to work it on
out. This is very funky part
now.

Hello, steady
customer, okay, let's see:
|
| Coro: |
|
Don't leave
no time left to play.
|
| Apu: |
|
That's one
pack of potency vitamins, three tins of smokeless
tobacco
|
| Coro: |
|
Twenty-four
hours a day,
|
| Apu: |
|
And one pack
of honey-glazed popcorn cluster.
|
| Coro: |
|
Don't leave
no time left to play.
|
| Apu: |
|
That'll be...
nothing because you're carrying a gun!
|
| Coro: |
|
Twenty-four
hours a day,
|
| Apu: |
|
Oh, here we
go again. Please sir, I ask that if you tie me up,
you use the nylon rope,
|
| Coro: |
|
Don't leave
no time left to play.
|
| Apu: |
|
It feels so
much softer against my skin than the other
kind.
|
| Coro: |
|
Twenty-four
hours a day,
|
| Apu: |
|
Yes, you'll
find it in back between the video games and the
non-dairy creamer.
|
| Coro: |
|
Don't leave
no time left to play, no, no, no, no, no,
no.
|
| Apu: |
|
Please sir.
Oh, thank you very much! Okay, have a nice day. Come
again.
