Lyrics
Addicted to a Plastic Bag
My baby is a wonder, now. She wanders while I snooze
She helps herself to time as if there weren't none to loose
She fiddles with a cardboard book. Its charm begins to lag
She drops it off and suddenly gets addicted to a plastic bag.
It moves like this, it folds like that. It makes an awful noise
It's got such charm that she doesn't warm to any of her other toys
She sits and pounds it again and again 'til it's just like it was before
There must be something in that bag I don't see anymore.
I have to admit I'm bound to sit and watch her play all day
And even though she might suffocate I can't bear to take it away
Someday she'll learn to talk and sing, eat junk and salute the flag
But now she spends an hour or so addicted to a plastic bag.
