The Litter Song Lyrics

Walkin' Jim Stoltz The Litter Song

G C G C G D
1) The most beautiful spot in the whole wide world and
the people come to see,
C G C D
Cameras are a-clickin' and tongues are a-tickin' and
everyone agrees,
G C G C G C
It's a special spot and it should be saved, this they
all believe,
G D G
But when the sun goes down and they all go home, this
is what they leave:
Refrain:
G C G
Cigarette butts like a carpet of dust and they're
scattered all over the place,
C G C D
Five busted coolers and three old socks, and one ol'
box of cornflakes,
G C G D
A potatoe-chip bag and a dirty rag, and a jar of
dippity-do,
G C
Ten paper cups and twenty gum wrappers
G D C G C D G

And some melted ice-cream too, (oouuwwh!) and some
melted ice-cream, too!
2) There was man that we revered and we held him up so
high
We built him a marble monument to mark him when he
died,
And the people still come from miles around just to
praise his good, proud name,
My how they crow, but when they go it's a dog-gone
dirty shame.
'Cause there's bottles over here and there's cans over
there
And they're scattered all over the place,
Twelve newspapers and a yellow crayon, and a moldy old
chocolate cake,
There's a spool of wire and pair of pliers, and a tube
of Elmers Glue,
Three old tires and a Ding-dong wrapper
And a wad a toilet paper, too (oouuwwh!) and a wad of
toilet paper, too!
3) We're in the space age folks lets clean up before
we've gone too far
We've trashed up the Earth, but now we're reaching for
the stars
When we get to the moon, well I'll stay here 'cause
I've got this fear in me,'
That when I get there I'll look around, and this is
what I'll see:
Cigarette butts like a carpet of dust and they're
scattered all over the place,
Ten film boxes and eight pop-tops, and one old tube of
tooth paste,
A Dorito bag, and a can of raid, and a worn out tennis
shoe,
Three pop bottles and twenty beer cans
And a dirty diaper, too (oouuwwh!) And a dirty diaper,
too!
