SONGS TO SUPRESS SUPERMARKETS :
(e.g. Woolworths, WalMart, Tescos et al)

Message from Jenny Fitzgibbon : feel free to add to or improve these parodies - and remember when Woolies tell you how great it's gonna be, they are just "wool words".

(There is also a parody of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" which I haven't located yet ... Cheers! R-J)


WE WON'T SHOP THERE
by Simon Wells, Paul Lawler, and others
(thanks to Freddie Mercury for "We Will, We Will Rock You")

Big developers comin' into town
Puttin' up a cash cow they'll tear the place down
They've got egg on their face, they're in disgrace
For the sake of a quid they're destroyin' the place.

Singin' We Won't, We Won't Shop There ( x2 …. of course)

Obi Obi Creek will be ripped to shreds
Platypus livin' there soon will be dead
They'll carve up the park, don't give a ….
Greedy corporations just out to make a buck.

Singin' We Won't, We Won't Shop There ( x2 …. of course)

Woolies are the big boys, we gotta make a noise
Show 'em we're not impressed by their boys toys
Challenge their might, we gotta fight the good fight
Let 'em know we're not just fly-by-night.

Singin' We Won't, We Won't Shop There ( x2 …. of course)

and We Will, We Will   STOP YOU !!!!


WILD SHOPPER
by Jenny Fitzgibbon
(with thanks to "The Wild Rover")

I've shopped in at Woolworths for many's a year
I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm withholding my gold from their stores
No I never will shop at a Woolies no more.

and it's NO, NAY, NEVER! (Show what you think!)
        No nay never no more
        Will I shop at a Woolworths
        No never, no more

On the Obi there are platypi who like to frequent
The mud banks by the bridge where the cars came and went
But Woolworths are making it noisier still
Driving wildlife away with jack hammer and drill.

If I went to a farmer and gave a mere half
Of the veg price at Woolworths I'm sure he would laugh
"Why, that's five times the price that I prise from their fists!"
and that's why I won't shop from those capitalists.


WE WON'T SHOP THERE
by Howard Buckley
(thanks to Queen and Freddie Mercury for "We Will, We Will Rock You")

Woolies, you're a bully
Make a big noise eating towns
'Gonna be a big store someday
You've got mud on your face you big disgrace
Throwing your weight all over the place.

But,        We won't, we won't
        Shop there!
        We won't, we won't
        Shop there!

Woolies you're a bully
Playing hard ball shouting to the world
That its all fair
You've got blood on your face you big disgrace
Tellin' fresh food lies all over the place.

But,        We won't, we won't
        Shop there!
        We won't, we won't
        Shop there!

Woolies you're a bully,
Try to come in to Maleny
Killing creeks and trees
You've got egg on your face, you big disgrace
We're gonna put you back into your place.

Cause,        We won't, we won't
        Shop there!
        We won't, we won't
        Shop there!
