Doin' the Trash
Sesame Street Lyrics

Toss out the lightbulbs, stomp on the cans
Dispose of the lightbulbs by throwing them out and flatten the cans with your foot

Shake out the paperclips and old tin pans
Empty the paperclips out of containers and straighten the old pans

Keep out the garbage, boy what a bash!
Prevent garbage from getting mixed in with the recycling and it's a great time doing it

Doin' the trash
Dancing and having fun while cleaning up

Chop up the boxes, smash up the wood
Cut the cardboard boxes into smaller pieces and break the wood into smaller parts

Smash up the cartons, boy it sure feels good
Crush the cartons and it's a satisfying feeling

Drop all the dishes, what a nice crash
Let the dishes fall and make a pleasing noise

It might be messy, but that's okay
Cleaning up can sometimes be disorderly and chaotic, but it's alright

'Cause being messy is how I love to spend my day
The process of cleaning up messes is fun for the singer

Cart out the ash cans, all you can bring
Take the ash cans outside and carry as many as you can

Show me the dump and let me do my thing
Bring the singer to the garbage dump and let them do their job

Dancing around with style and flash
Moving energetically while cleaning up in a fashionable way

Trash out the window, trash on the door
Throw the garbage out the window or door

How could you ask for anything more?
The singer believes that cleaning up is all they need

Where do you see such flair and dash
The singer believes their personal style is unique and special

You do your number, and I'll do mine
Everyone has their own way of cleaning up

My romper rubbish just suits me fine
Wearing a romper while cleaning up makes the singer happy

Give me the junkman driving his truck
The singer wants the garbage truck driver to come and take away the trash they've collected

When I start to boogie, boy is he in luck
If the singer starts dancing while collecting the trash, the driver is lucky enough to see their performance

Stomping around, making a splash
Pretend to splash in puddles while walking around

Let yourself go now, hustle and leap
Stop holding back and run and leap while cleaning up

We're gonna make it to the top of the heap
The singer believes they will finish cleaning up everything

Hey, sanitation man, Cisco crash
The singer is inviting the garbage truck driver to come and see their performance

You're going quiet, we're going loud
The driver is probably quiet, while the singer is being loud and enthusiastic cleaning up

Buddy, let me tell you, this is some great crowd
The singer is jokingly considering the cleaning up job as some kind of performance

What a fiesta! Wow, what a clash!
The singer believes this cleaning up process is like a party with its fancy style

I get so happy, my feet could fly
Cleaning up makes the singer so happy that they feel like they can fly

My trashcan ramble will take me up into the sky
The singer thinks their efficient cleaning up skills can take them to the sky

Come to the party, let's have a ball
The singer wants everyone to join in and have fun while cleaning up

We'll clean up the neighborhood and junk it all
The singer intends to complete the cleaning up job for the whole neighborhood

Hey, what a hit! Boy, what a smash!
The singer is proud of their cleaning up achievement

Doin' the trash
Having fun while cleaning up
