Peanut Butter Conspiracy
By: Jimmy Buffett
1973

C G
Looking back at my hard luck days
F C
I really do have to laugh
C G
Working in a dive for twenty six dollars
F G
Spending it all on grass

F C
We were hungry hard luck heros
F G
Trying just to stay alive
F C
We'd go down to the corner drug
D G
This is how we'd survive

Chorus:
C
Who's going to steal the peanut butter?
F C
I'll get a can of sardines
C
Running up and down the aisle of the mini mart
F G
Sticking food in our jeans
F C
We never took more than we could eat
F G
There was plenty left on the rack
F C
We all swore if we ever got rich
G C
We would pay the mini mart back
F C F C
Yes sir! Yes sir!
G C
We would pay the mini mart back

It was a two man operation
Had it all down on a note
Ricky would watch that big round mirror
And I'd fill up my coat

Then we'd head for the checkout aisle
With a lemon and a bottle of beer
Into to the car, got to make it on home
Supper time's gettin' near

(Repeat chorus)

I guess every good picker has had some hard times
I sure had my share
It's really kind of funny to laugh at it now
But I don't want to go back there

So every now and then when I'm in the grocery
I take a little but not much
You never know when those hard times will hit you
And I don't want to lose my touch

(Repeat chorus)
