Bobs Plastic Or Paper Lyrics

Plastic Or Paper Lyrics

I got a bunch of bananas and a bottle of bleach
     Five cans of cat food, a chicken, and a peach
     I had enough trouble picking out all this food
     I can't stand decisions, I think it's so rude
     That you ask me if I want Plastic or Paper

     I don't know...just a bag!
     PLASTIC
     Oh, plastic sounds OK, just put in a bag
        and let me go home
     PAPER
     Or, well, maybe paper's better...I don't know how
        to make a decision about this...

     Well, then the clerk, he says to me:
     "Mr. Consumer, please pause to reflect
     The choice that you make can have a global effect
     On lumberjacks and turtles, politicians and fish
     Would you like a paper bag, is that your wish?
     On the other hand I offer a bag that won't leak
     And besides, it's got handles!"

     PLASTIC
     Well, OK, give me a plastic bag,
        make it a plastic one
     PAPER
     OOOOh, no, maybe I'll have...Maybe...
        Maybe a Paper Bag!
     Yeah, it's such a big decision, I've got a bunch of a bananas
        and a bottle of bleach,
        and what am I gonna put it in...?
     PLASTIC OR PAPER
     PLASTIC OR PAPER
