Encore: Occupations

Okay, peeps, Encore is back! For those of you who don't know the general rules, look
here.
In this round, you must have the
name of an occupation in the lyrics you quote. For example, "I've been working on the railroad" doesn't count, but you could have "railroad worker." Plurals are also acceptable.
Each occupation may only be used once. Different names for the same occupation are okay as long as you don't abuse the system.
Play starts now and Day 1 ends at 11:59:59 pm whatever time zone you're in on May 20, 2012.

Well, I'll be sure to put it out

She will drive you anywhere

The top ones and the ones beneath
So if you have an aching tooth

Like bread and eggs, cheese and meat
No matter what you're looking for
You'll find it at the grocery store

To take care of the shoes you wear
With his hammer, nails, and glue
He'll fix your shoes as good as new

And clean it so you'll look your best
...
The trash collector works each day
He'll always take your trash away
He drives the biggest truck you've seen
To keep the city streets all clean
...

Oh, who are the people in your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood?
Say, who are the people in your neighborhood?
The people that you meet each day
