Lyrics

I had a turkey dinner, threw the bones away
They hauled them to the county dump without delay
By the following Thanksgiving, they had turned to clay
They're bio-de-bio-de-bio-degradable garbage
Good garbage breaks down as it goes
That's why it smells bad to your nose
Bad garbage grows and grows and grows
Garbage is s'posed to decompose
Now styrofoam is bad, it lasts a thousand years
A packing peanut's born and never disappears
So crumple up your comics when you ship your chandeliers
'Cause comics are bio-de-bio-degradable garbage
Good garbage breaks down as it goes
That's why it smells bad to your nose
Bad garbage grows and grows and grows
Garbage is s'posed to decompose
Now every time that we buy food
We also buy the package
Bottles, boxes, bags, and cans
They end up in the garbage
Half of all our cash
We're spending on our trash
For the sake of Mother Earth
Let's get our money's worth!
Only buy bio-de-bio-degradable...
Good garbage breaks down as it goes
That's why it smells bad to your nose
Bad garbage grows and grows and grows
Garbage is s'posed to decompose
Good garbage breaks down as it goes
That's why it smells bad to your nose
Bad garbage grows and grows and grows
Garbage, garbage
Garbage is s'posed to decompose!
