Fresh off the boat in America First place Father took me was the dollar store Never seen a place like that before Somethin' motherland did not offer Pretty soon I had a new set of toys And a new look too, hard to recognize Loaded cap gun in my Batman fanny pack Spandex shorts, bow and arrow on my back The happiest immigrant on the block I had a thing for shades too, I even got The ones Arnold rocked in "Terminator 2" My building's maintenance crew nicknamed me Hollywood Ah-ah Then came a time when I didn't go To the dollar store very much at all Was too busy pretendin' that I'm not poor Tryin' to fit in with the preppy kids at school And as my bones grew, they grew in shy And a dark root took hold inside I dressed up as the Crow three Halloweens in a row I stashed my drugs in a hollowed-out Bible Oh-ah, whoa, ho-ah Me and my two friends playing on this song After high school we moved to Montreal We got a place that needed a makeover-haul And that's what made me return to the dollar store Dust masks, rubber gloves, scrubby pads Paint rollers, paper towels, garbage bags Heavy duty brush for the toilet bowl In two weeks the place was livable Then we got into gettin' novelty Items for our birthdays, shows, and parties Hand-clappers, streamers, and confetti Black balloons for when I turned 30 Jesus nightlight for the kitchen wall A picture frame for "Gremlins" Gizmo The laundromat is a far-away walk And sometimes I just need a fresh pair of socks But now the items at the dollar store Are priced at a dollar or more Guess things couldn't stay the same forever But they're still the best deal on toilet paper
