 Saturday is shopping day-

 looking round the store it was all deserted and I'm

 stranded here with my empty basket

   By the one way out,     strange voice shouts
|6/4  B7/F#                          |
     "Don't let that good man out!"

[Verse 2] (1:38-)

 Oh, there's an old man on the floor so I summon my charm
 I say "Hey scumbag, has there been an alarm?"
 
 he said "Yeh, 'been selling off eternal youth
 they all got afraid 'cos I'm the living proof

 My name is Einstein do you know time is a curve?"
 I said "Stop old man! you got a nerve

 'cos there's only one rule that I observe
 Time is money, and money I serve"
