BHS


Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy

Young man, there's a place you can go
I said young man, when you're short on your dough
You can shop there, and I'm sure you will find
that the fashions haven't changed since 1978

It's no fun to shop at British Home Stores 
It's no fun to shop at British Home Stores
They have nothing for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the cobwebs

It's no fun to shop at British Home Stores 
It's no fun to shop at British Home Stores
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good (?) meal
You can do whatever you feel

Young man, are you listening to me
I said young man, what do you wanna be?
I said young man, you can make real your dreams
But you've got to know this one thing

No man, does it all by himself
I said young man, put your pride on the shelf
And just go there, to British Home Stores
I'm sure they can't help you today

It's no fun to shop at British Home Stores 
It's no fun to shop at British Home Stores
They have nothing for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the cobwebs

It's no fun to shop at British Home Stores 
It's no fun to shop at British Home Stores
You can get yourself clean you can have a good (?) meal
You can do whatever you feel

Young Man, I was once in your shoes (Primark)
I said I was, down and out with the blues
I felt no man, cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so jive

That's when someone, came up to me
And said young man, take a walk up the street
There's a place there, called British Home Stores
They can start you back on your way

It's no fun to work at British Home Stores 
It's no fun to work at British Home Stores
Young man, young man there's no need to feel down
Young man, young man pick yourself off the ground

BHS and just go to British Home Stores
