Plastic Or Paper

I got a bunch of bananas and a bottle of bleach

Five cans of cat food, a chicken, and a peach

I had enough trouble picking out all this food

I can't stand decisions, I think it's so rude

That you ask me if I want Plastic or Paper

I don't know...just a bag!

PLASTIC

Oh, plastic sounds OK, just put in a bag

And let me go home

PAPER

Or, well, maybe paper's better...I don't know how

To make a decision about this...

Well, then the clerk, he says to me:

"Mr. Consumer, please pause to reflect

The choice that you make can have a global effect

On lumberjacks and turtles, politicians and fish

Would you like a paper bag, is that your wish?

On the other hand I offer a bag that won't leak

And besides, it's got handles!"

PLASTIC

Well, OK, give me a plastic bag,

Make it a plastic one

PAPER

OOOOh, no, maybe I'll have...Maybe...

Maybe a Paper Bag!

Yeah, it's such a big decision, I've got a bunch of a bananas

And a bottle of bleach,

And what am I gonna put it in...?

PLASTIC OR PAPER
