Co-op Girlz
I came out to the mountains the big city lights were behind me It was just me and my old wounded heart driving down the highway to freedom And when I first pulled into Nelson I couldn't believe my eyes There were all these hippies and little kids and freaks hanging around
And the heartbeat of this old town is a strip called Baker Street And my stomach was empty so I started looking around to find something to eat But I didn't have much money-a little loose change in my pocket When suddenly I found myself in front of the Kootenay Co-op Health Food Store
So I walked in through those automatic sliding glass doors Yeah, they opened for me like I was someone real important And suddenly I was in a dream-like haze and my mouth feel open wide Well forget my empty stomach cuz my heart was pounding for
Chorus: Co-op girlz, some of the cutest women in Nelson were Co-op girlz
Where do I start I said to myself? I mean there were produce girls and deli girls and even herbal supplement consultant girls So I kept it fairly simple and I picked up something from the deli And I was feeling a little more hopeful about myself when the Deli-Goddess smiled at me
So I marched up to the woman at the till and she asked me for my number And even though I thought she was a little forward I said 357-0126 And I was thinking I had myself a date but then she looked at me and said “Honey, you must be new in town cuz I'm talking 'bout your membership number”
Oh god, I'm such an idiot I said, “I don't have a number” Then I looked down at my shoes and I hung my head in shame And just when I thought my luck was done and I was planning my escape She asked if I wanted to be a member and I looked up into her big brown eyes and said Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Chorus: Co-op girl, co-op girl oh yes I want to be a member Co-op girl, co-op girl, just tell me where to sign
So once I became a member the benefits started rolling in There were these monthly co-op meetings, a sure fire place to get a date So I got all dressed up and ready for my night out on the town And I showed up at the meeting
And I pulled a chair up beside the Girl with the Big Brown Eyes And there was the Deli-Goddess sitting on her other side You see when I moved out to the Kootenays I had myself a plan To ditch the straight life and become a dyke
So half-way through the agenda I took a long deep breath It was during the topic of yearly dividends when I turned to Big Brown Eyes And I asked her for her number because I thought I'd try again but she Put her arm around the Deli-Goddess and then they said to me
Chorus: Desperate girl, desperate girl, better luck at the AGM Desperate girl, desperate girl, this ain't the Fluid Lounge
So, I found out that they've got this thing called the 10 percent monthly membership discount It's kind of like customer appreciation Well I'd like to find out what that's really all about I mean I could always use a little more appreciation in my life
Chorus: Co-op girlz, co-op girlz, I need some appreciation Co-op girlz, co-op girlz, just punch in 6411
