(Get Some) Cash For Your Trash

Performed by Fats Waller
Recorded December 16, 1941
Written by Fats Waller and Ed Kirkeby

Today's the day that all us cats
Must surely do our bit
We all must do our share
So Uncle Sam can hit
Save up all your pots and pans
Save up every little thing you can
Don't give it away
Get some Cash For Your Trash, yeah
Save up all that old newspaper
Save and pile it like a high skyscraper
Don't give it away
Get some Cash For Your Trash

In between we'll do some lovin'
Wide handsome turtle dovin'
Will you listen to me honey
Get plenty of the foldin' money
Save up all your iron and tin
But when you go to turn it in
Don't give it away
Get some Cash For Your Trash
