lyrics

See her creeping round
Spotted across town
There without a sound goes my dime store girl

Quietly she works
Stocking all the shelves
Keeping to herself is my dime store girl

There’s no one like my dime store girl
There’s no one at all
Tell no one ‘bout my dime store girl
Queen of the strip mall

Feeding little fish
She stops to make a wish
But there’s no one getting rich as a dime store girl

See her sweep the aisle
Into a dusty pile
Never with a smile, that’s my dime store girl

There’s no one like my dime store girl
There’s no one at all
Tell no one ‘bout my dime store girl
Queen of the strip mall

See her hanging round
Dressed up like a clown
Somethin’s going down with my dime store girl

She doesn’t act the same
She’s scribbling my name
Don’t get in the way of my dime store girl

There’s no one like my dime store girl
There’s no one at all
Tell no one ‘bout my dime store girl
Queen of the strip mall

And then the dime store closed
The strip mall decomposed
And now nobody knows of my dime store girl

She left without a trace
I still look for her face
No one could replace her my dime store girl

There’s no one like my dime store girl
There’s no one at all
Tell no one ‘bout my dime store girl
Queen of the strip mall

There’s no one like my dime store girl
There’s no one at all
Tell no one ‘bout my dime store girl
Queen of the strip mall
Queen of the strip mall...
