Trader Joe's

[bnewman]

I shop at TJ's fairly often, and I also study Torah fairly often, so it didn't escape my notice that the Biblical Joe also made a name for himself in food distribution.

When seven years of famine

Would lay the people low

There is no food in all the land

Go down to Trader Joe's

 

Go down to Trader Joe's, me boys

Go down to Trader Joe's

There is no food in all the land

Go down to Trader Joe's

 

They say that Joe's a dreamer

They trust in what he knows

When seven years of plenty came

He established Trader Joe's

 

He established Trader Joe's, me boys...

 

He built a mighty storehouse

Their bounty to enclose

And half the grain that Egypt grew

Was brought to Trader Joe's

 

Was brought to Trader Joe's, me boys...

 

Now seven years of famine come

When nothing green will grow

Now all the bread that Egypt buys

Is bought at Trader Joe's

 

Is bought at Trader Joe’s, me boys...

 

They say that he's a dreamer

They say he's quite a beau

And what they say reminds me of

Another guy named Joe

 

Another guy named Joe, me boys...

 

Yes, what they say reminds me of

The son I used to know

Find out if what they say is true

Go down to Trader Joe's

 

Go down to Trader Joe's, me boys...
