Every Bit a’ Litter Hurts

(from Sesame Street) This is how it goes Sometimes somebody throws Some paper where it doesn't belong Or maybe there's a stash Of cans and junk and trash Someplace where droppin' litter is wrong It's good for me and you To put our trash into A basket or a can or bin Just think what it would mean If people never cleaned The pile of litter we'd be in Every bit o' litter hurts, oh, yeah, yeah Every piece of paper counts, uh-huh Every soda can, bottle cap Newspaper, candy wrap Every bit o' litter hurts Okay, picture this: You're walkin' with your sis And eatin' popsicles for a treat Your sister's finished quick And almost drops her stick And throws her wrapper onto the street Can't toss 'em on the ground But there's no place around Where people can throw trash away You keep it in your hand Until you find a can And then you turn to sis and say Every bit o' litter hurts, oh, yeah, yeah Every piece of paper counts, uh-huh Every soda can, bottle cap Newspaper, candy wrap Every bit o' litter hurts Every bit o' litter hurts, oh, yeah, yeah Every piece of paper counts, uh-huh Every soda can, bottle cap Newspaper, candy wrap Every bit o' litter hurts
