Jim Dixon Waste/recycling songs?? (47) Lyr Add: (GET SOME) CASH FOR YOUR TRASH (Waller) 01 Oct 15


Here's a WW2 era song:


(GET SOME) CASH FOR YOUR TRASH
Words by Ed Kirkeby, music by Fats Waller.
As recorded by Fats Waller, 1941.

Today is the day that all us cats
Must surely do our bit,
We all must do our share
So Uncle Sam can hit.

Save up all your pots and pans.
Save up ev'ry little thing you can.
Don't give it away.
Get some cash for your trash, yeah.

Save up all that old newspaper.
Save and pile it like a high skyscraper.
Don't give it away.
Get some cash for your trash.

In between we'll do some lovin',
Wide(?) handsome turtle-dovin'.
Will you listen to me honey?
Get plenty of the foldin' money.

Save up all your iron and tin,
But when you go to turn it in,
Don't give it away.
Get some cash for your trash.
