People come to my store "Films Forever"
But they never
Rewind "True Lies"
No one sees the big sign in the foreground
"When not rewound
A dollar fee applies"

Then they scre-e-e-eam
They are not guilty
And they blame it all on me
I spend hours kindly winding
But when it's busy
I can't for free

No one cares if I sit with my three Sonys
Like I do
Cov'ring for you
No one thinks of the next guy who rents it
None of that brain they have
Can show through

But it se-e-e-ems
A simple dollar
Will now make them at least try
When I check the tape beginning
I want the warning
Of the F.B.I.

When my store opens at ten-thirty
Before I rent an action flick
I make sure the box is sturdy
And the labels always stick

And when I tell about the discount
Put the stamp on the reciept
They won't hear about the late fee
I know I will face defeat

People come to my store "Films Forever"
But they never
Rewind "True Lies"
