Where's the bargain, what's on sale
A notice at the door
Some medicine, a
can of soup
Everything in a no frills store
-
Restaurant menus or the latest board-game
How to put together a
toy
Escalator up or shoe department down
And the washroom's for a girl or
a boy?
-
Is
this plain or is it herbal tea?
Just where do I find this sauce?
I hope I
brought enough money with me
'cause I just can't figure out the
cost
-
Is
this shampoo for oily hair?
Do I add water to this milk?
How often must I
take this pill?
I didn't know that it was made of silk

CHORUS:
What's the matter can't you read?
What's the matter can't you read?
I didn't
know that the cloth would bleed
What's the matter can't you read?
How many
people will this box feed?
What's the matter can't you read?
It's
taken for granted everywhere you turn
That everyone can read
That all
grown-ups have learned
What's
the matter can't you read?
What's the matter can't you read?
What's the
matter can't you read? |
