Use me once, use me twice

I might be lucky if you use me thrice

Plastic cups and plastic plates,

Plastic bags and plastic tape,

 

I’m a piece of plastic

stretch me elastic

This can be fantastic

problem or asset

plastic my life is elastic

reduce reuse and  recycle me,

that is the key

 

Verse 1

You chucked me in the gutter with no emotion

floating with the current moving with the motion

I’m a piece of plastic deep in the ocean

food for the fish and food for the dolphin

 

I'm a big whale deep in the sea

all these plastics following me

plastic or plankton I can’t tell

I got a sore tummy and I’m not doing well 

​

Chorus

Use me once, use me twice

I might be lucky if you use me thrice

Plastic cups and plastic plates,

Plastic bags and plastic tape,

 

Verse 2

My daily intake is a 100 yummy fish

500 plastic bags up in the mix

50 bottle caps 20 plastic bottles

All this plastic is real hard to swallow

 

Next time when there's plastic in your hand

think for a second before you throw it on the land

take a few steps to save my fin

drop that bag in the recycling bin

 

Chorus 

I’m a piece of plastic

stretch me elastic

This can be fantastic

problem or asset

plastic my life is elastic

reduce, reuse, recycle

me, that is the key

 

Bridge 

Choose what you use and

reuse what you choose

Reduce what you use and

reduce what you choose

 

Plastic model, Plastic key

plastic bottle, plastic knee

plastic toys, plastic pen

plastic noise, plastic ken
