Hey, hey people, have you heard the news
There's a place to buy groceries and hear some blues
Down around the corner on Shrewsbury Street
You can feed your soul while you're buying your meat
It's Johnny's Jazz Grocery down on Shrewsbury Street
It doesn't matter if you're hip or straight
Cause the service is friendly and the prices are great
Two little aisles and a freezer case
And the pure sounds of jazz all over the place
It's Johnny's Jazz Grocery down on Shrewsbury Street
This ain't no ordinary mom and pop
It's the only place in town where you can bop while you shop
You can hear Prez and Bird and Dizz
While you're buying your crackers and your cheese whiz
They got lamb chops, ham hocks, cherry tomatoes
Coconuts and mangoes and sweet potatoes
Bee bop and swing and cool jazz too
At Johnny's you can pig out on humanity stew
