[Verse 1]
Clean up in aisle seven
Barryʼs spilt his guts out again
Heʼs all over the cereal
And people are starting to complain
Well he might not never of wanted this life
And we took him off frozen goods for a while
[Chorus]
"Maybe the monotony is here to stay" he thought
In every dead end job in every dead end town
[Verse 2]
Eskimo Steve who led the frozen team
When he saw Barry his heart it sunk
I remember just last week in the corner there
He collapsed in a heap of happy potato faces
We all just thought the cold was getting to him
Because it does
[Chorus]
"Maybe the monotony is here to stay" he thought
In every dead end job in every dead end town
"Maybe the monotony is here to stay" he thought
In every dead end job in every dead end town
[Verse 3]
Supermarkets are strange places
And they get even stranger at night
Where every animal comes to gaze at a box of dinner
And while you were deciding which soup was nice
Barry's soul was getting swept away with puffed up rice
[Chorus]
"Maybe the monotony is here to stay" he thought
In every dead end job in every dead end town
"Maybe the monotony is here to stay" he thought
In every dead end job in every dead end town
(This is the worst job I've ever had)
