Man In The Corner Shop - The Jam

Puts up the closed sign does the man in the corner shop

Serves his last and says goodbye to him

He knows it is a hard life

But it’s nice to be your own boss really

Walks off home does the last customer

He is jealous of the man in the corner shop

He is sick of working at the factory

Says it must be nice to be your own boss (really)

Sells cigars to the boss from the factory

He is jealous is the man in the corner shop

He is sick of struggling so hard

He says «It must be nice to own a factory»

Go to church do the people from the area

All shapes and classes sit and pray together

For here they are all one

For God created all men equal
