Lyrics
I had turkey dinner, threw the bones away.
They hauled 'em to the county dump without delay.
By the following Tnanksgiving 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 sposed 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.
Cho.
Every time that we buy food we also buy the package.
Bottles, boxes, bags and can, 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--
Instrumental
Cho.
