Paper Napkins
Paper napkins and plastic straws
Ex-lax was a laxative I recall
Bananas with black seeds
Young folks saying please
Things just seem to disappear
Phone booths everywhere
Merry Christmas said with cheer
That corner fireworks stand
Frying with lard from a tin can
Things just seem to disappear
Neighbors who are friends
Promise kept by politicians
News that actually informed
Soft white bread wasn't scorn
Things just seem to disappear
Butter-Nut candy bars
When we believed life was on Mars
We used to land men on the moon
California once had too much room...
Paper napkins and plastic straws.
