Oh, I love trash! Anything dirty or dingy or dusty Anything ragged or rotten or rusty Yes, I love trash 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 Oh, I love trash! Anything dirty or dingy or dusty Anything ragged or rotten or rusty Yes, I love trash 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 Oh, I love trash! Anything dirty or dingy or dusty Anything ragged or rotten or rusty Yes, I love trash 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 Oh, I love trash! Anything dirty or dingy or dusty Anything ragged or rotten or rusty Yes, I love, I love, I love trash!
