Rockin’ Shopping Center Songtext
von Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers

One, two
One, two, bass man
Let′s go

Well, I landed at a shopping center, in an unknown state
Unknown kind of architecture, atmospheric trait
Unknown brand and labels, unknown market chains
The strangest collection of buildings here
Upon the fruited plain

And let's rock
Let′s go

Alright, hey
You see, you got the different labels and the different brands
Each little region across the land
Different colors in the different states
Different labels and let's tell 'em about
All the different states for all the different traits
And as of this date, I hate no state


Let′s rock
Let′s go
Alright

Well, I walked through the mall and I walked up and down
I done got tired so I done sat down
I watched the people for a while, you always learn a little
De-doily doidy doik doik doik doik diddle

Let's rock
Let′s go (go, go, eight bass)

Yeah

Alright
Alright
Well, the giant sign says "Momo Plaza"
These centers, I don't know, it has a
Weirdo insignia they put on all the bags
They wrote it on the walls, even paint a flag
If I were a shopping center, I′d sure be embarrassed
I know I'd never get a date with some cute little building, like from Paris

Let′s rock
Let's go

Alright
Alright
