Canvas Bags

Take your canvas bags

When you go

To the supermarket

Why use plastic ones when you know

You know the world can’t take it

Take your canvas bags

When you go-ohh

To the supermarket, market, mark-et-yea-yeah-yeah

Don’t you use those plastic ones

No, no, no, oomff

Don’t you know that you’ll feel better for it

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

To the supermarket

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

To the supermarket

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

To the supermarket

Uhm-uhm

Take your canvas baaaah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ags

Take your canvas bags

To the supermarket

Break it down

Take your canvas

Take your canvas

Take your canvas bags

To the supermarket

All the ladies in the house

Come on and let me hear you say canvas

(Canvas)

All the fellas in the house

Come on and let me hear you say bags

(Bags)

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

To the supermarket

Just think about the world

And how the world would be fantastic

If we could get rid of all the plastic

We just need to get enthusiastic

Organize a competition gymnastic

Or a bag making comp at your school

Fuck it, make it interscholastic

Canvas is for everyone

Whether you be rebellious and iconoclastic

Or conservative or ecclesiastic

I don’t care if you’re loud and bombastic

Or quiet or virtually monastic

Sober or what they used to call spastic

Yoga master or completely inelastic

I’m not trying to be ironic or sarcastic

Just do something drastic

To rid the world of plastic

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas baaaah-aaah-aaags

To the supermarket

Take your canvas, clap

Yeah you gotta clap

Take your canvas

Yeah sing along, if you've figured out the words

Just keep, just keep it going

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

To the supermarket

Blackout, fuck yeah
