A Wonderful Day in a One-Way World lyrics

Saturday is shopping day, I drive my car

There's no place to park it

No respect for superman in supermarket

I guess there must be trouble but I not been alerted

Looking round the store it was all deserted

And I'm stranded here with my empty basket

So full of question got nowhere to ask it

By the one way out

Strange voice shout

"Don't let that good man out!"

Have a wonderful day in our one-way world

One way, one day

Have a wonderful day in our one-way world

One way, one day

One-way man, one-way mind

Get along with mankind

Oh, there's an old man on the floor, so I summon my charm

I say "Hey Scumbag, has there been an alarm?"

He said "Yeh, 'been selling off eternal youth

They all got afraid 'cos I'm the living proof

My name is Einstein do you know time is a curve?"

I said "Stop old man! you got a nerve

'cos there's only one rule that I observe:

Time is money and money I serve"

By the one way out

Strange voice shout

"Don't let that good man out"

Have a wonderful day in our one-way world

One way, one day

Have a wonderful day in our one-way world

One way, one day

One-way man, one-way mind

Get along with mankind

One-way man, one-way mind

Get along with mankind
