I Love Trash (Steven Tyler Version)
Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street
Oh, I love trash
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yeah, I love trash
I got me a sneaker that's tattered and worn
It's all full of holes and the laces are torn
A gift from my mama the day I was born
I love it because it's trash
Oh, I love trash
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yeah, I dig trash
I got me a newspaper thirteen months old
I've wrapped up a fish
And it's smelly and cold
But I wouldn't trade it for a big pot of gold
I love it because it's trash
I love it because it's trash
I've got a clock that won't work
And an ol' microphone
A broken umbrella and a rusty trombone
And I'm delighted to call them my own
I love them because they're trash
Oh, I love trash
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yeah, I love
Yeah, I love
Trash!
