Lyrics

Blowin' down the road, fast as I can go,
even if it takes a while
Got a lotta livin', got a lotta lovin',
God I love to see you smile
Blowin' down the road, fast as I can go,
even if it takes all day
Got a lotta livin', got a lotta lovin',
God I love to hear you say

A paper cup - I wish I was - a paper cup - I wish I was
Life would be great, sippin' champagne
Life would be ecstasy if I were a paper cup
I said you and me drinkin' endlessly if I were a paper cup

Catch me if you can, you garbage-pickin' man,
cleanin' up the streets again
Wild-eyed goose, you got nothin' to lose,
unless you stick me in the garbage can
Even if you do, no matter what you do,
I'm doin' just the best that I can
Because I'm biodegradable, it's somewhat debatable
if I'll be recycled again

A paper cup - I wish I was - a paper cup - I wish I was
Life would be great, sippin' champagne
Life would be ecstasy if I were a paper cup
I said you and me drinkin' endlessly if I were a paper cup

All right now

Ooh la la la la, ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la, ooh la la la la

Well, I'm blowin' down the road, fast as I can go,
even if it takes a while
Got a lotta livin', got a lotta lovin',
God I love to see you smile
Blowin' down the road, fast as I can go,
even if it takes all day
Got a lotta livin', got a lotta lovin',
God I love to hear you say

A paper cup - I wish I was - a paper cup - I wish I was
Life would be great, sippin' champagne
Life would be ecstasy if I were a paper cup
I said you and me drinkin' endlessly if I were a paper cup
And my life would be ecstasy if I were a paper cup
