Stick out your can. Here come the garbage man. (3x)

The little red hen told the little red duck,
"Say, you sure are ugly but you sure can dance."
Stick out your can. Here come the garbage man. (2x)

My mama's in the bed. Papa's in jail.
Sister's on the corner hollerin' "Petitions for sale."
Stick out your can. Here come the garbage man. (2x)

I'm not a butcher and I'm not a butcher's son,
But I can trim a little meat until the butcher-boy comes.
Stick out your can. Here come the garbage man. (2x)

I'm not a nutcracker or nutcracker's son,
But I can pop some nuts until the nutcracker comes.
Stick out your can. Here come the garbage man. (2x)

I'm gonna save my nickels, put 'em in a glass.
I'm goin' downtown. I'm gonna buy me some apples.
Stick out your can. Here come the garbage man. (2x)

Up the hill I pushed a cart.
I pushed so hard you could hear me sneeze.
Stick out your can. Here come the garbage man. (2x)
