Story Behind the Song 
Lyrics 
School's out, time for the summer
 Mom said, "Gotta get some money"
 Where do you go? There are so many choices
 Come to Hy-Vee and work courtesy
 
 First day on the job and your hands are getting dirty
 You came in at six and it's only seven-thirty
 You've been emptying trash and cleaning restrooms
 But your manager told you you'd be on your break soon
 
 Chorus
 Could it be, that retail paradise is at Hy-Vee?
 Could it be, the friendly faces and cozy aisles at Hy-Vee?
 Now I see, that customers can purchase quality groceries
 Pretty please, my I work another hour at Hy-Vee?
 
 "Good work," you manager tells you
 "Break time, take twenty minutes"
 Fruit drink and microwave dinner
 Time to sit down and listen to the silence
 
 Twenty-five minutes later you hear a voice calling
 You've been up in the break room, obviously stalling
 It's back to work and back on your feet
 It's back to the place we call Hy-Vee
