The Compost Bin

The Compost Song DEBI Derryberry, Lisa Loeb

(DEBI)

Aaron came home from his soccer practice, Droppin’ his backpack by the door

Heard his stomach rumbling saying ..Hey…gimme a snack

(LISA)

Went to the kitchen and grabbed an apple, Gobbled it up in no time flat (in record time)

Sat on the sofa tossed that apple core INTO THE TRASH

CHORUS (DEBI AND LISA)

STOP, don’t you know that there’s a place, where your food won’t go to waste

Throw those green things in to the compost bin

Yeah it may stink but it makes you think

(LISA)

Riley was walking through the front yard, Kickin’ up all the leaves that fell

(DEBI)

Raked ‘em up all up into the plastic garbage bag, AND INTO THE TRASH

(DEBI AND LISA)

STOP, don’t you know that there’s a place, where your leaves won’t go to waste

Throw those green things in to the compost bin

Yeah it may stink but it makes you think

(LISA)

With Just a little effort and a lot of good, You can feed the gardens in your neighborhood

(DEBI)

Make a lot less trash, and create less gas, And that doesn’t really, stink,

(DEBI)

Hey, look inside this compost bin

(LISA)

Phew! It stinks!

(DEBI)

I know, right?!

(LISA) Banana Peels

(DEBI) Egg shells

(LISA) Oooo coffee grounds

(DEBI) My leftover peanut butter sandwich

(DEBI AND LISA)

STOP, don’t you know that there’s a place, where your leaves won’t go to waste

Throw those green things in to the compost bin

Yeah it may stink but it makes you think

Yeah it may stink oh it may stink

Yeah it may stink but it makes you think

Yeah it may stink oh it will stink

(LISA)

But it should, and it’s good, makes you think

(LISA) Pee yew, is that the compost bin?

(DEBI) Yeah , it smells delicious!)
