Garbage Man
I wish I was
A garbage man I’m sure I would enjoy my life Strong and handsome Smiling and big Lifting cans and boxes high I wish I was A garbage man Rain, snow and blazing sun I could face all All hardships well Outdoor vigour would make it fun Get up fresh and early every morning A sturdy body with a sturdy job Always busy doing only good things 'Cause I’m always cleaning up I wouldn’t worry Or feel at loss ‘Bout what to do and what is best And women love Yes women love The garbage man Muscles make them feel safe and blessed I can never, never ever be a garbage man I’m much too old and much too fat My old garbage will just slow and weigh me down I’ll have to live with that I wish I was, a garbage man, I wish I was ……… |
