Chewing Gum Wrapper Songtext

I saw the chewing gum wrapper,
saw it after lunch
Faded little cruddy thing,
klsik,rdcrofss r
I picked from among the bunch.
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
My eyes would not let go
Saw the little thing that I liked so.
Loved the faded colors like would end up at the dump,
My heart goes bumpety, bumpety, bumpety bump.

Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
Faded by the rain
You got to see it for yourself,
My words just can't explain.
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
dried up by the sun
Someone else got to feel this way, I can't be the only one.
Who loves the faded colors like would end up at the dump.
My heart goes bumpety, bumpety, bumpety bump.

Faded plenty and corroded some,
I saw the chewing gum wrapper,
I picked it up just like a bum,
Cruddy little, cruddy little, cruddy little thing
Full of dirt and it was full of grit,
I saw the chewing gum wrapper
But colors like that you can't git,
Cruddy little cruddy little cruddy little cruddy little.

Well, cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
My heart would not let go
The colors hypnotize me, and I love them so.
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
This I must say
These colors move me more than most or what I see today.
I love the faded colors like would end up at the dump,
My heart goes bumpety, bumpety, bumpety bump.

I saw the chewing gum wrapper,
When I was on a walk
I saw the faded green
And I could barely talk.
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper
When I was on a roam
I was the faded yellow
And wanted to take it home
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper.
