lyrics

My best friend called me up and said how are you doing?
Can you meet me at the park?
I need help setting up for my birthday party,
We'll be home before dark

So we grabbed the cupcakes, and we grabbed the streamers,
And we grabbed the hotdogs for the barbecue
Such a great day for a party, yeah the sun is shining
But then the park came into view

There was litter everywhere, under our feet
There were even plastic bags stuck up in the trees

Eww! Gross! Yuck!

CHORUS:
C'mon let's pick it up, and put it in the trash
Or hold on to it until we get back, yeah let's
Pick it up, and put it in the trash
Or hold on to it until we get back

My cousin called me up and said how are you doing?
Let's go for a swim,
We're going to the pool and you're invited
I just can't wait to jump in.

So we grabbed our goggles, and we grabbed our towels,
And we put on sunscreen and our baseball caps
When we got there I was ready, I splashed into the water,
But then I thought oh no, what's that?

Something brushed against my arm, but it wasn't a fish
It was an old plastic bag and a styrofoam dish

CHORUS

Do I really have to hold on to this icky sticky wrapper
I don't want it in my pocket anymore
Maybe if I leave it here on the ground,
No one will see
Do I really have to hold on to this icky sticky wrapper
I don't want it in my pocket anymore
I'll look around and I'll drop it on the sidewalk
And walk away quickly
I made it round the corner, I think no one could see
Wait why is there an icky-sticky wrapper stuck to me?

CHORUS
