Well, in a little bitty nitty gritty one horse town
Right side up or upside down
A tiny piece of paper got stuck to a boot
And it stayed there stuck for about an hour or two
`Til the man climbed in his truck and he kicked it loose
Yeah and just like that it was back on the move
It got run over thirty-seven times in the street
`Til a bird picked it up `cause it looked like something to eat
But it was finally dropped on the courthouse steps
The breeze started blowing and guess what was next
It blew in a car window gave an old man a scare
Caused a six-car pile up on the downtown square
It was floatin` around
High in the air
Even if you looked you may not see it there
It`s just one of those things
We rarely ever think about
Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper
It`s a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper
There it goes...here it comes
Two people in the shadows where they couldn`t be seen
Both of them was wearin` someone else`s ring
She said here`s my new number, you better write it down
So he grabbed that piece of paper just a layin` on the ground
He folded it up, and put it in his jeans
`Til it was found by his wife at her washing machine
Well, she threw it in the trash, yeah she took it out the door
Well that`s her job `cause he don`t live there no more
She put it by the curb in a rubber maid bin
`Til the neighbour`s dog Spot knocked it over again
It was set free when the cold wind blew
Yeah and just like that it was back on the move
A just a floatin` around
High in the air
Even if you looked you may not see it there
It`s just one of those things
We rarely ever think about
Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper
It`s a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper
Just a floatin` around
High in the air
Even if you looked you may not see it there
It`s just one of those things
We rarely ever think about
Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper
It`s a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper
