[Verse 1]
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
So we'd go down to the corner grocery

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

D                       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
[Verse 2]
         C           G
It was a two man operation

       F             C
Had it all down on a note

C                      G
Ricky would watch that big round mirror

    F              G
And I'd fill up my coat

F                      C
Then we'd head for the checkout aisle

       F                     G
With a lemon and a bottle of beer

F                       C
Into to the car, got to make it on home

D                     G
Supper time's gettin' near
[Chorus]
    C
So, who's going to steal the peanut butter?

F                      C
I'll get the can of sardines

C
Running up and down the aisle of the Mini Mart

D                    G

   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

F   C     F   C
Yes sir!  Yes sir!

G                          C

[Verse 3]
        C                     G
I guess every good picker has had some hard times

F             C
I sure had my share

     C                       G
It's really kind of funny to laugh at it now

    F                       G
But I don't want to go back there

   F                       C
So every now and then when I'm in the grocery

  F                     G
I take a little but not much

           F                     C
'Cause you never know when those hard times will hit you

    D                       G
And I don't want to lose my touch
[Chorus]
    C
So, 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
