Lyrics
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.
