"The Compost Bin" lyrics

Lisa Loeb & Debi Derryberry Lyrics

"The Compost Bin"

Aaron came home from his soccer practice
Droppin' his backpack by the door
Heard his stomach rumbling saying...
Hey... gimme a snack

Went to the kitchen and grabbed an apple
Gobbled it up in no time flat (in record time)
Sat on the sofa tossed that apple core
Into the trash

Stop, don't you know that there's a place
Where your food won't go to waste
Throw those green things in to the compost bin
Yeah it may stink but it makes you think

Riley was walking through the front yard
Kickin' up all the leaves that fell

Raked 'em up all up into the plastic garbage bag
And into the trash

Stop, don't you know that there's a place
Where your leaves won't go to waste
Throw those green things in to the compost bin
Yeah it may stink but it makes you think

With Just a little effort and a lot of good
You can feed the gardens in your neighborhood

Make a lot less trash, and create less gas
And that doesn't really, stink

Hey, look inside this compost bin

Phew! It stinks!

I know, right?!

Banana Peels

Egg shells

Oooo coffee grounds

My leftover peanut butter sandwich

Stop, don't you know that there's a place
Where your leaves won't go to waste
Throw those green things in to the compost bin
Yeah it may stink but it makes you think
Yeah it may stink oh it may stink
Yeah it may stink but it makes you think
Yeah it may stink oh it will stink

But it should, and it's good, makes you think

Pee yew, is that the compost bin?

Yeah, it smells delicious!
