(Get Some) Cash For Your Trash

Performed by Louis Armstrong
Recorded April 17, 1942
Written by Fats Waller, Ed Kirkeby

Any rags, any bottle?
Any bottles, any rags?
Any rubber, any tin?
Now listen to me my friend

Save up all your pots and pans
Save up every little thing you can
Don't give it away
Get Cash For Your Trash
Save up all your old newspapers
Let it pile up like a high skyscraper
Don't give it away
Get some Cash For Your Trash

In between we'll do a little lovin'
High power turtle dovin'
If you listen to me honey
You're gonna have some foldin' money
Save up all your irons and pins
But when you go to turn it in
Don't give it away
Get some Cash For Your Trash

Save up all your irons and pins
But when you go to turn it in
Don't give it away
Get some Cash For Your Trash
Don't be slow
Get some dough
Get some Cash For Your Trash
