Paper plate, paper plate
Paper plate, paper plate

Ah, paper plate, ooh I'm sorry
But there are no more paper plates
Ah, paper late, ooh I'm sorry
But you can eat over the trash can

Ooh it's too easy to belch from chili
Or have food go over the place
Napkins would be nice at least
So dry your mouth
Ooh it's too easy to get grease from pizza
Just dripping onto your shirt below
You should wipe your face, use your arm
No place for food to go, no no

Ah, paper plates, wish I could find them now
So food won't drop to the ground
Ah paper plates, ooh, don't worry now
No one has them, must've run out
Paper plates, ooh I'm sorry
But I didn't buy paper plates
Ah paper plates, wishful thinking
You can eat over the sink there

Ooh it's too easy to eat like a pig now
Especially if eating outside
There's more barbecues here now
Trash cans are full
Ooh it's too easy to get seasick when on boats
When only food's the whole spice rack
If you could find the bathroom door
Food might be coming back

Oh, you're eating faster
So not so sloppy now
Just have to keep mind over matter
So you keep your food down

Paper plate, paper plate
Ah, Paper plate, paper plate
Paper plate, paper plate
Ah, Paper plate, paper plate

Ah, paper plate, ooh I'm sorry
But I forgot the paper plates
Ah, paper plates, ooh I'm sorry
But just eat over the balcony
Ooh paper plate now I'm sorry
That my food fell down on you
Ah, paper plate, ooh I'm sorry
But at least we don't need them for booze
