I Love Trash
sung by Oscar the Grouch (Carroll Spinney)
Words and Music by Jeff Moss
1970 Festival Attractions, Inc. (ASCAP)
Oh, I love trash! 
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty 
Yes, I love trash

I have here a sneaker that's tattered and worn 
It's all full of holes and the laces are torn
A gift from my mother the day I was born
I love it because it's trash

Oh, I love trash! 
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty 
Yes, I love trash

I have here some newspaper thirteen months old 
I wrapped fish inside it; it's smelly and cold
But I wouldn't trade it for a big pot o' gold!
I love it because it's trash

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash

I've a clock that won't work
And an old telephone
A broken umbrella, a rusty trombone
And I am delighted to call them my own!
I love them because they're trash

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love, I love, I love trash!

I Love Trash
this version sung by Steven Tyler, who else?!
You want to
Talk some trash?

Oh, I love trash
Anything dirty or
Dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or
Rotten or rusty
Yeah, I love trash

I got me a sneaker
That's tattered
And worn
It's all full of holes and
The laces are torn
A gift from my mama
The day I was born
I love it because
It's trash

Oh, I love trash
Anything dirty or
Dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or
Rotten or rusty
Yeah, I dig trash

I got me a newspaper
Thirteen months old
I've wrapped up
A fish
And it's smelly
And cold
But I wouldn't
Trade it for
A big pot of gold
I love it because
It's trash
I love it because
It's trash

I've got a clock
That won't work
And an ol'
Microphone
A broken umbrella
And a rusty trombone
And I'm delighted to
Call them my own
I love them because
They're trash

Oh, I love trash
Anything dirty or
Dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or
Rotten or rusty
Yeah, I love
Yeah, I love
Trash!
