Red Solo Cup

Toby Keith · Clancy's Tavern [2011]

Now red solo cup is the best receptacle

From barbecues, tailgates, fairs and festivals

And you sir do not have a pair of testicles

If you prefer drinkin' from glass



Hey red solo cup is cheap and disposable

In fourteen years they are decomposable

And unlike my home they are not foreclosable

Freddie Mac can kiss my ass, woo!



Red solo cup, I fill you up

Let's have a party, let's have a party

I love you red solo cup, I lift you up,

Proceed to party, proceed to party



Now I really love how you easily stack

But I really hate how you're easy to crack

Cause when beer runs down, in front of my pack

Well, that, my friends, is quite yucky



But I have to admit that the ladies get smitten

Admirin' at how sharply my first name is written

On you with a Sharpie when I get to hittin'

On them, to help me get lucky



Red solo cup, I fill you up

Let's have a party, let's have a party

I love you red solo cup, I lift you up,

Proceed to party, proceed to party



Now I've seen you in blue and I've seen you in yellow

But only you red were good for this fellow

Cause you are the Abbott into my Costello

And you are the Fruit to my Loom



Red solo cup, you're more than just plastic

More than amazing, you're more than fantastic

And believe me that I'm not the least bit'sarcastic

When I look at you and say:

"Red solo cup, you're not just a cup (No, no, God no)

You're my friend, yea (Lifelong)

Thank you for being my friend"



Red solo cup, I fill you up

Let's have a party, let's have a party

I love you red solo cup, I lift you up,

Proceed to party, proceed to party

[repeat]
