Sesame Street
I Love Trash
[Intro, spoken: Oscar & Bob]
Okay, okay
I've waited long enough and now the time has come
Oscar what are you doing anyway?
What does it look like I'm doing Bob?
Well it looks like you're making a mess or something
I'm gonna sing my song so I'm throwing all my trash onto the sidewalk. Isn't it beautiful?
Well I wouldn't say it's exactly beautiful Oscar
Well I would, just look at it all
What a beautiful junky mess of rusty, rotten, mangy, musty, crummy trash

[Chorus]
Oh, I love trash
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash

[Verse 1]
If you really want to see something trashy look at this
I have here a sneaker that's tattered and worn
It's all full of holes and the laces are torn
A gift from my mother the day I was born
I love it because it's trash

[Chorus]
Oh, I love trash
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash
[Verse 2]
Here's some more rotten stuff
I have here some newspaper thirteen months old
I wrapped fish inside it; it's smelly and cold
But I wouldn't trade it for a big pot o' gold
I love it because it's trash

[Chorus]
Yes, I love trash
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash

[Verse 3]
Now look at this restless junk
I've a clock that won't work
And an old telephone
A broken umbrella, a rusty trombone
And I am delighted to call them my own
I love them because they're trash

[Chorus]
Oh, I love trash
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love, I love, I love trash
