Lyrics

Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart?

Lisa:

I think what my father's saying is you're like a member of the family now.

Apu:

I feel that way, too. You see...

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)

Homer:

(sighs) Everything really wrapped up nicely. Hmm, much quicker than usual.

Marge:

I guess we've learned that happiness is wherever you find it.

Homer:

And we all found happiness. Every one of us.

[Apu is heard sobbing]

Hey, what's that sound?

Apu: [sadly]

Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?

I do.

Homer:

Hey, he's not happy at all. He lied to us through song! I hate when people do that!
