Thread Name: Origin: 'Stick out your can (for the) garbage man'
Subject: Garbage man?
Wandering down memory lane, I thought of a sweet, sentimental song my dear old mother used to sing when I was a little bitty tyke. I wonder if anyone has heard this song and knows all the lyrics. All I can remember is one phrase:

"Stick out your can, here comes the garbage man."

Does that ring a bell for anyone?
