Music from Crackers: Checkout Guy by Forbes Masson

Posted on 24 October 2012

This hilarious song called Checkout Guy was written and performed by Forbes Masson for his brand new festive comedy musical, Crackers which is returning to the B2 auditorium for more craziness from 8-22 Dec. The lyrics are below for you so you can sing along!

Checkout Guy

I’m a checkout Guy
Nobody looks me in the eye
They just buy
And pass me by

Ch Ch checkout guy
Feeling ostracised
getting RSI
In my elbows and the laser stings my eyes

Checkout guy
Vastly overqualified
My true talent’s being denied
I’m losing every bit of my pride

Ch ch checkout guy
Feels like I’m hollowing out inside
I haven’t ruled out suicide
Instead of packing and stacking shelves
I’d just checkout myself

This checkout guy
Is always asking why
Was I born to live and die
Just a checkout guy

I need to flee the endless monotony
Sow the seams of my fraying dreams
I need to see what the fates have in store for me
Before my dreams
Run out of steam

This checkout guy
is always asking why
Was I born to live and die
Just a checkout guy
