When you’re riding in a car and there’s someone up ahead of you
And they have got a great big candy bar
And they’re taking off the wrapper and they throw it out the window
What do you say? “What could they be thinking?!”
CHORUS:
Pick it up, pick it up
And throw it in the garbage
Pick it up, pick it up
Everything has its place
Pick it up, pick it up
Recycle or reuse it
Pick it up, pick it up
We’ve got to share this space
I know most of us are busy and our room’s a little messy
And there’s clothes and toys and food all over the place
And your mom’s disappointed and your dad’s near a meltdown
What do they say? “What could you be thinking?!”
CHORUS
So when we’re playing in the house or we’re walking in the neighborhood
And there’s a mess that someone made—we can’t say who
We can roll up our sleeves and pitch in together
What can we do? Me and you!
CHORUS
