when I was drinking last night
recycled the aluminum cans
and I mean quite a few, babe
ooh oh I said

to throw them out is hypocrisy
so I squashed them up in the blue
bin for the man to see

I couldn't believe it..
reclycling aluminum cans
but when the climate folks you know
finally convinced me, well I knew

it's not all a conspiracy
this was due to happen
in our world as we see
it's there plainly

so I went out
collected some aluminum cans
and the climate man you,
know, came for a ride

the cans we found by the library
they were squashed and onto the beer
cans very safely

over there twas to my despair
was a paper coffee cup,
right in the road..
oooeeeb deeb ooh eeb deed oo-oo-oo-oo-o

my feet were dead, but the time had come
to pick it up baby it's gone..
oh no... can't be so..
and then it occurred to me,
I shouldn't be sad,
aluminum cans,
and cup paper too
recycle bins are full
just always have to be full
it's soon the law
