Harry Nilsson - Garbage Can Ballet lyrics

Living in the garbage can can be a lot of fun It has its ups (doo, doo, doo, doo) and downs Or paper cups and coffee grounds Living in the garbage can can be a lot of fun Especially if you meet the perfect onion Oh, the great garbage can is just full of good stuff All the discarded refuse of man Like the half used banana Whose girlfriend is Anna Who shout let us out of this can Woh, woh, woh, said the poor Brussels sprout If only me and the banana could get out We'd find an asparagus who'd stand up and marry us But the first thing to do is get out Now an old piece of ham is in love with some lamb But a young head of lettuce is too Now said the ham to the lettuce, "The lamb will forget us As soon as he learns I love you" Oh, oh, oh The great garbage can It's a tribute to the ingenuity of man Where corn and tomatoes are mixed with potatoes And thrown in together with ham Where a Brussels sprout and a sauerkraut can get together and have it out And no one seems to care about the plan And a succotash and a piece of hash can get together and have a bash For life is always equal in the can
