Woolworths Shopping

Tik Tok – Woolies Shopping

I was writing a birthday song for Tina and ended up with this. Appropriate for most of the mums from school who love up here on the mountain range.

To the tune of Tik Tik by Ke$ha

Wake up in the morning, tired and a bit shitty
Grab my sunnies, purse and green bags - I’m gonna hit Nambour city
Before I leave, grab my keys, I put my hair in a bunch
No time for breakfast, I’ll drive through Maccas for brunch.

I’m talking - Can’t find any clean clothes, clothes
Wiping the children’s nose, nose
now where did I put my phone, phone
Drop off the kids, park at Woolies
Trying to get a trolly
Hope that it’s not wonkey, ey, ey

Don’t shop, make me stop
I’m feeling all up tight
I need to get the groceries
And then I’ll be alright
Tick tock, on the clock
The checkouts are busy
Woah-oh oh oh

Don’t shop, make me stop
My trolley getting full
Grab a woman’s weekly
And neck down a red bull
Tick tock, on the clock
Got to leave by half past two
Woah –oh oh oh

Left the shopping list at home
And the bags in the car
I’ve been here an hour
And not got very far
Still in the veggie aisle
Looking for what’s in season
Don’t really know why, but I’m sure there is a reason

Just stocking up on meat, meat
And stuff the kids won’t eat, eat
Should stop dragging my feet, feet
So I head of to the deli, deli
Where the cheese is really smelly, smelly
Then go buy some jelly, jelly
And maybe some paparadelle

Don’t shop, make me stop
I’m need to buy bog roll
And some new batteries
For the tv remote control
Tick tock, on the clock
The checkouts are busy
Woah-oh oh oh

Don’t shop, make me stop
Ooh! 5 dollars for Nutrigrain!
2 for 1 on cake mix
Grab a pre-pack quiche lorraine
Tick tock, on the clock
Got to leave by half past two
Woah –oh oh oh

Just grab some milk
A hot cooked chook
I need some more toothpaste
Some nice fresh fish
Look! Samples on a tray
I may just have a taste
Stock up shampoo
Lasagne sheets
The dips are going cheap
With knockdown prices
On every aisle
I know I’ll buy a heap

Now I really need to go and line up in a queue

Don’t shop, make me stop
Shit I forgot the cotton wool
But unless I get back up the hill
The school car park will be full
Tick tock, on the clock
This line is really slow
Woah-oh oh oh

Don’t shop, make me stop
300 bucks for this?
I can put some stuff back,
I am sure the kids won’t miss
Tick tock, on the clock
It’s now nearly 20 to three…..
Woah –oh oh oh

Tina's 40th - 'Tinamite'

Tina's 40th

I organised a surprise lunch for my wonderful friend Tina and sang her this song to celebrate her 40th birthday. She is a passionate astrologer, hence the stars and star sign reference. As a present from her sister Kim, she was treated to a posh haircut in Brisbane and the party was the first time we had seen the new shorter style which really suited her. She also had a new 'body' after working with a personal trainer.

I started writing another song, which turned in to a song about shopping at Woolworths and not a birthday song! I was really worried for a few days as I wanted to come up with something more personal.

I was driving in the car with my daughter and this song came on the radio. We were singing along and I realised Dynamite could be come 'Tinamite' and then it flowed!

A lovely lunch, lovely company and now a lovely memory.

This is to the Tune of Dynamite by Taio Cruz
