Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers
Abominable Snowman in the Market
[Verse 1]
Well, look, see, there's an abominable snowman in the supermarket
And apparently the housewives have never seen anything like that before
Hear the housewives complaing to the manager
"Get that snow-thing out of this store"
[Verse 2]
Abominable snowman in the market
That's right, you heard me right, gang
And the housewives, they all remark:
"It looks like a dirty marshmallow with fangs"
Well, there's an abominable snowman in the market
Now he's down by the peas and carrots
Abominable snowman in the market
And they cannot chase him away
What you sayin'?
[Chorus]
Abominable snowman in the market
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Abominable snowman in the market
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
See, there's an abominable snowman in the market
And the situation is grave
Well, the housewives hurt and confuse him
And I can't stand to see him treated this way
Well, there's an abominable snowman in the market
And I think he's a real nice guy
I like the snowman, I want to help him out
I don't want to see him hurt this way
[Chorus]
Well, abominable snowman in the market, alright
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Abominable snowman in the market
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
Look, we have to talk to this abominable snowman man
And we have to say something that he can understand
[Verse 3]
That's right, there's an abominable snowman in the market
And he's doin' better every day
I know it's helped him to have a more tolerant feeling
And I like to see him treated this way
Well, there's an abominable snowman in the market
And he's down by the peas and carrots
Abominable snowman in the market
And that is what I now say
[Chorus]
Abominable snowman in the market, all right
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Abominable snowman in the market
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Me and Dave
[Verse 4]
There's an abominable snowman in the market
Down by the peas and carrots
Abominable snowman in the market
He just arrived by plane yesterday
There's an abominable snowman in the market
And the housewives never seen something like that before
Housewives treat him like a stranger
They want him away from the supermark't door
[Chorus]
Abominable snowman in the market, alright
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Abominable snowman in the market, get it
