Living in a garbage can can be a lot of fun

 It has its ups and downs of paper cups and coffee grounds

Living in a garbage can can be a lot of fun

 Especially if you meet the perfect damion (?)

 Oh a 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

But 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

Is 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 sour crout 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

 Life is always equal in the can
