I Do Not Need A Bag
I go shopping every day, I buy lots of thingsPaper clips and party hats, rubber bands and ringsAnd when I've picked out what I want and comes the time to payThey ask me how I want it wrapped and this is what I sayI do not need a bag, I do not need a bagI do not need a bag, I do not need a bagTo take a brand new bagEach time I shop's a dragThank you kindly but I do not need a bagI went into the kitchen to fix a bite to eatI had a taste for something tart or maybe something sweetBut every shelf I opened up and every drawer was stuffedWith supermarket paper sacks and plastic pouches puffedI do not need these sacks, I do not need these sacksI do not need these sacks, I do not need these sacksWith all these extra sacksI cannot find my snacksThank you kindly but I do not need these sacksThe trees out in the forest, they are friends to meThey're fun to climb and give me shade and air to breatheAnd plastic bags do not biodegrade too wellIn landfills and in garbage dumpsLetras de cancionesThey suffocate the Earth...and they smellSo now I take a cotton bag when I go to the storeI've used it many, many times, I'm sure I'll use it moreAnd every time I use my bag I help to save a treeIf everybody did the same, just think how smart that'd beWe wouldn't waste our bags, we wouldn't waste our treesWe'd have more branching out, we'd have less plastic sleazeWe'd have more bark, less bite, we'd have more piles of leavesOh, I'll never take a bag that I don't needI do not need a bag, I do not need a bagI do not need a bag, I do not need a bagTo take a brand new bagEach time I shop's a dragThank you kindly but I do notThank you kindly but I do notThank you kindly but I do not need a bag From Letras Mania
