Don't go, Cathy, don't go!
Don't go, please don't go!
Don't go, Cathy, don't go!
Don't go, please don't go!

Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today
Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today
'Cause there's a very strange man at the checkout stand
And there's a laser scanner where you put your hand

Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today
(Don't go, Cathy, don't go!)
Without a computer ID, there's no way to pay
(Don't go, please don't go!)

I know there's a sale and a special on rice
And you can buy beans at a giveaway price
But that's just their way to get you down there
What you don't know is that they're everywhere

Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today
Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today

They had a special program on the TV last night
Explaining calmly why these things must be done right
They say the new computer is the way to control
But what they didn't say is that it costs your soul

Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today
(Don't go, Cathy, don't go!)
Without a computer ID, there's no way to pay
(Don't go, please don't go!)
Cause there's a very strange man at the checkout stand
And there's a laser scanner where you put your hand

Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today
Oh Cathy, can't you see what they're trying to do?
This isn't just a new craze – they want to make us their slaves

Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today
(Don't go, Cathy, don't go!)
Cathy, let's leave while there's still time to get away
Honey, don't worry, just take my hand
We can make it, even if we have to live off the land

Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today
(Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today)
Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today
(Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today) Cathy, don't go!
(Cathy, don't go to the supermarket today) ooh, Cathy, don't go!
