Fats Waller
Cash for Your Trash
Today's the day that all us cats
Must surely do our bit
We all must do our share
So Uncle Sam can hit
Save up all your pots and pans
Save up every little thing you can
Don't give it away
Get some cash for your trash, yeah
Save up all that old newspaper
Save up high just like a high skyscraper
Don't give it away
Get some cash for your trash
In between we'll do some lovin'
Wide handsome turtle dovin'
Will you listen, to me honey
Get plenty of the foldin' money
Save up all your iron and tin
But when you go to turn it in
Don't give it away
Get some cash for your trash
[Instrumental Break]
Say, in between we'll do some lovin'
Wide handsome turtle dovin'
Will you listen to me honey
Get plenty of the foldin' money
Save up all your iron and tin
But when you go to turn it in
Don't give it away, no, no
Get some cash, get some cash, get some cash for your trash
Get plenty of it too
