Classic Country Lyrics: "The Bargain Store" von Dolly Parton

Als Dolly Parton diesen Song veröffentlichte,
hatte sie ihren einzigen wirklichen Skandal. Vie-
le Radiostationen lehnten es ab, den Song zu spie-
len, da sexistische Anspielungen aus dem Text he-
rauszulesen wären. Ob dies nun der Fall ist oder
nicht, das sei jedem, der den Text durchliest, sel-
ber überlassen...

My life is like unto a bargain store 
And I may have just what you're lookin' for 
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is 
used 
But with a little mending it could be as good as new 
Why you take for instance this old broken heart 
If you will just replace the missing parts 
You would be surprised to find how good it really is 
Take it and you never will be sorry that you did 

The bargain store is open come inside 
You can easily afford the price 
Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise 
And I will guarantee you'll be completely satisfied 

Take these old used memories from the past 
And these broken dreams and plans that didn't last 
I'll trade them for a future, I can't use them anymore 
I've wasted love but I still have some more 

The bargain store is open come inside 
You can easily afford the price 
Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise 
And I can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied 

My life is like unto a bargain store 
And I may have just what you're lookin' for 
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is 
used 
With a little mendin' it could be as good as new 

The bargain store is open, come inside 
The bargain store is open, come inside
