Ducks Don't Shop In Sainsburys

 

You can’t get ¹⁾millet¹ at ²⁾Sainsburys

And they don’t sell grass or weed

It’s a total ³⁾dead loss

For ⁴⁾heather and ⁵⁾moss²

And they don’t stock sunflower seed.

 

They’ve got some fish in the ⁶⁾freezer

But they’re low on rats and mice

And you’re out of luck

If you’re a ⁷⁾debonair³ duck

And you want to buy something nice.

 

‘Cause none of their bread is ⁸stale

And they’ve stopped selling ⁹⁾hay and ¹⁰⁾straw.

Let’s face it, if you were a duck in Sainsburys,

You’d be heading for the exit door!

 

西嗣坝篱的鸭子不购物

在西嗣坝篱找不到谷米

他们不卖嫩草野草

您也甭指望见到

什么石楠和青苔

向日葵籽根本断货。

 

冰库里倒是有鱼

不过老鼠耗子不多

如果您是只文质彬彬的鸭子

不巧还想买点好货

那绝对会运气欠佳。

 

那里没有不新鲜的面包

不卖新草干草

这就是现实，如果你是只西嗣坝篱的鸭子，

还是赶快寻一条出路去吧！
