about

This bouncy little boogie-woogie number proves that there are remarkably few synonyms for "trash" in the English language.

lyrics

Had a little party in the garbage dump
Bash the Trash was there and they began to thump
Well, the joint was jumpin'and the band began to thrash
You should’ve heard them bash that trash
Let’s go down to the garbage dump
And boogie woogie woogie to the bash trash jump

Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Let’s go down to the garbage dump
And boogie woogie woogie to the bash trash jump

Johnny B was playing on the plastic straw
His wife Carina had a musical saw
The drummer from Bolivia went crash boom bang
The whole rhythm section was the clunk-a-junk gang
Let’s go down to the landfill
And boogie woogie woogie til we get a thrill

Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Let’s go down to the garbage dump
And boogie woogie woogie to the bash trash jump

Plastic number 1 said to number 3
You’re the cutest bottle that I ever did see
I sure would like to be recycled with you
C’mon let’s jump into a bin so blue
Let’s go down to the rubbish heap
And boogie woogie woogie and we’ll never sleep

Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Dancin to the Bash Trash jump
Let’s go down to the landfill
And boogie woogie woogie til we get a thrill
Let’s go down to the rubbish heap
And boogie woogie woogie til we never sleep
Let’s go down to the garbage dump
And boogie woogie woogie to the bash trash jump
