Lyrics:

Why she's a girl from the chain store
Why she's a girl from the chain store
She told me my attitude was wrong
I had to find out where she came from
Why she's a girl from the chain store
Why she's a girl from the chain store
Her name was written on her coat
Her life was a miserable anecdote

She loved her mother and her father
They never missed her birthday
Listen to everything they said
Like 'Never miss your birthday'

Why she's a girl from the chain store
Why she's a girl from the chain store
A product of environment
Another flesh wound in a tenement
Why she's a girl from the chain store
Why she's a girl from the chain store

Why she's a girl from the chain store
Why she's a girl from the chain store
Facing Bernstein's barrier
Waiting for someone to marry her
Why she's a girl from the chain store
Why she's a girl from the chain store
Down there at the discotheque
Waiting for someone to bite her neck
