Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart?

 * Apu:
 * Whether igloo, hut, or lean-to,
 * Or a geodesic dome,
 * There's no structure I have been to
 * Which I'd rather call my home.


 * When I first arrived, you were all such jerks,
 * But now I've come to loooooooove,
 * Your quirks.


 * Maggie, with her eyes so bright,
 * Marge with hair by Frank Lloyd Wright,
 * Lisa can philosophize,
 * Bart's adept at spinning lies.
 * Homer's a delightful fella.
 * Sorry 'bout the salmonella.


 * Homer:
 * Heh-heh. That's okay.


 * Apu:
 * Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?
 * Now here's the tricky part,
 * Oh, won't you rhyme with me?


 * Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?


 * Marge:
 * Their floors are sticky-mart!


 * Lisa:
 * They make Dad sick-e-mart!


 * Bart:
 * Let's hurl a brick-e-mart!


 * Homer:
 * The Kwik-E-Mart is real—
 * D'oh!


 * All:
 * Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?


 * Apu:
 * Not meeeeeeeeeee!
 * The Simpsons [simultaneously]:
 * Forget the Kwik-E-Mart!
 * Good-bye to Kwik-E-Mart!
 * Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?


 * Apu:
 * Not me!

Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart? (Reprise)

 * Apu [sadly]:
 * Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?
 * I do.
