Don’t Throw It Away

Leo B. had big idea

Somethin' that would last for a million years

You see, someday we will all disappear

But the big idea will still be here

You gotta use it again

Baby, don't ya throw it away (Don't ya throw it away)

Now, who could imagine everything it would bring

You can turn that plastic into any ol' thing

It's so convenient, you just can't beat it

'Til it gets into the ocean and the fish start to eat it

You gotta use it again

Baby, don't ya throw it away (Don't ya throw it away)

Well now a turtle can't swim and a bird can't sing

When they're stuck in the hole of a six-pack ring

We got bottle and bags, caps and cups

We got too much stuff, we gotta clean it all up

You gotta use it again

Baby, don't ya throw it away (Don't ya throw it away)

Well the face of this planet, as far as I can see

Well it could use just a little plastic surgery

Well now Leo didn't know he was starting a mess

How it all turns out is anyone's guess

I use it all the time, I must confess

But if I care a little more, I'll use a little less

You gotta use it again

Baby, don't ya throw it away (Don't ya throw it away)

'Cause it's a beautiful world

Baby, don't ya throw it away

They done cut the light on

So I'm finished now (Haha)

I'm gon' get my money and go back to Mississippi

Alright
