Tom Chapin - Good Garbage 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 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, garbage Garbage is s'posed to decompose
