about

This is the first single, written by a two-year-old. You know how all kids love garbage trucks? On a wintery garbage day, the garbage truck arrives in front of the house, and the two-year-old starting chanting "Garbage truck! Garbage truck! Here comes the garbage truck! Taking all the garbage to the dump!!!" Chorus and melody, fully formed. That's how songs are born: I helped him out a bit with the verses, and it's now the first single.

lyrics

Garbage Truck

Garbage truck, garbage truck
Here comes the garbage truck
Takin’ all our garbage to the dump,
The coolest truck that I ever did see,
Even though it’s prob’ly stinky,
That doesn’t matter to me ‘cause it’s a truck!
It’s a garbage truck!

The garbage lady wears an orange vest,
I think that orange is the best,
I had an orange for breakfast, now it’s in the garbage, goin’ to the dump
We separated bottles and cans,
To be recycled into bottles and cans again,
I wanna be with the women and men on the truck,
The garbage truck!

Garbage truck, garbage truck
Here comes the garbage truck
Takin’ all our garbage to the dump,
The coolest truck I ever did see,
It comes here every Monday
Backin’ up going beep beep beep, I wanna jump!
Onto the garbage truck!

I know that I need to stay away,
From the truck ‘cause it’s big and scary,
Lots of things can hurt me on a garbage truck,
But I will dream that some fine day,
When I’m grown up someone’ll pay me
To wear an orange vest, and collect the trash
In a garbage truck,

Garbage truck, garbage truck
Here comes the garbage truck
Takin’ all our garbage to the dump,
The coolest truck I ever did see,
Backin’ up going beep beep beep,
Wanna throw a garbage heap on the truck!
On the garbage truck!
