  I have two garbage cans in school

One is grey, the other is blue

Grey holds the trash that will go bad

Blue saves the paper, bottles, and cans

 

Another blue can sits alone outside

It stands so tall, I can't see what's inside

One cold day, I rubbed it with my thumb

And the sun came out when I started to run

 

Please make magic garbage cans

The blue one's full, the grey's no fun

Please make magic garbage cans

The sun stays out when you rub it with your thumb

 

My teacher, Mr. Wood is great

He took my class to investigate

He told them all my story was true

He said the world has alot of work to do

 

My magic garbage can didn't work that time

But Mr. Wood knows my scientific mind

 

Please make magic garbage cans...

 

It's so illogical, but it's magical

It's so critical, but it's invisible

It's idiotical, but not impossible

It's ecological...

To make a container, an entertainer

It's classical,  fantastical

 

I have two garbage cans in school

One is grey, the other is blue

The blue is full with bottles and cans

But outside stands a magic garbage can

 

Please make magic garbage cans

The blue one's full, the grey's no fun

Please make magic garbage cans

The sun stays out when you rub with your thumb
