Garbage Can Ballet by Harry Nilsson

Garbage Can Ballet

E
Living in a garbage can can be a lot of fun
  					    G
It has its ups and downs of paper cups and coffee grounds
E
Living in a garbage can can be a lot of fun
                                   D   E
Especially if you meet the perfect damion (?) 

     G
Oh a great garbage can is just full of good stuff
All the discarded refuse of man 
         A 
Like the half used banana
Whose girlfriend is Anna who shout “let us out of this can”
 
          G
woh, woh, woh, said the poor Brussels sprout
If only me and the banana could get out
     A 
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

        A 
Where a Brussels sprout and a sour crout can get together 
And have it out and no one seems to care about the plan
      B 
And a succotash and a piece of hash can get together and have a bash
                                E  B
Life is always equal in the can
