Rockin’ Shopping Center

Jonathan Richman

[Intro]
One, two
A-one, two, bassman
Let's go

[Verse 1]
Well, I landed at a shoppin' center, in an unknown state
Unknown kind of architecture, atmospheric trait
Unknown brand and labels, unknown market chains
The strangest collection of buildings here upon the fruited plain
And let's rock, let's go

[Verse 2]
Alright, hey
You see, you got the different labels and the different brands
Each little region across the land
Different colors in the different states
Different labels, and let's tell 'em about dates
All the different states for all the different traits
And as of this date, I hate no state
Let's rock, let's go, alright

[Verse 3]
Well, I walked through the mall and I walked up and down
I done got tired, so I done sat down
I watched the people for a while, you always learn a little
De-doidy, doidy doik, doik, doik, doik-diddle
Let's rock, let's go

Go, go, eight bars!
Yeah, alright, alright

[Verse 4]
Well, the giant sign says "Momo Plaza,"
These centers, I don't know, it has a
Weirdo insignia they put on all the bags
They wrote it on the walls, even paint a flag
If I were a shopping center, I'd sure be embarrassed
I know I'd never get a date with some cute little building, like from Paris
Let's rock, let's go
