He Who Laughs Last

When I was young, knee-deeped in school, teachers threatened. "You'll be a garbage man. If you don't start cracking at those books, better then that you shouldn't plan". Now after grade school & a civil service test. I'm out here in the streets. Picking up the trash you throw away. At seven-fourteen a week. I have no brains; the hell I don't! There's no pressure on this job. I just pick up what you throw away, and it's really not that hard. .
