This song was created during a Monty Harper songwriting residency at Will Rogers Elementary School in Stillwater, Oklahoma in February 2013.
lyrics
The party is over, It's cleanup time again
Don't throw it in the trash, Use your recycling bin
You should listen, To what I have to say
Do the right thing, Don't throw that stuff away
Recycle the party
Recycle, uh uh, recycle, oh yeah
Recycle the party
Paper plastic aluminum cans
Recycle the party
Recycle, uh uh, recycle, oh yeah
Recycle the party
Empty pop bottles and bean dip cans
Don't fill the landfill, Don't hurt the birds
Don't waste our resources, Listen to my words
When you're hangin’ with your homies, You can have a lot of fun
But you gotta recycle, When the party is done
Recycle the party
Recycle, uh uh, recycle, oh yeah
Recycle the party
Paper plastic aluminum cans
Recycle the party
Recycle, uh uh, recycle, oh yeah
Recycle the party
Empty pop bottles and bean dip cans
How many parties must be recycled
Before we save the planet?
Every single party must be recycled
We’ve got to make it a habit -
A habit for life
A habit for life
It's fun to recycle, It's the circle of trash
It's the right way to go, With your after party bash
Get your red solo cups, Get your brown paper sacks
Get your soda pop bottles, And your pizza box stacks, And...
Recycle the party
Recycle, uh uh, recycle, oh yeah
Recycle the party
Paper plastic aluminum cans
Recycle the party
Recycle, uh uh, recycle, oh yeah
Recycle the party
Empty pop bottles and bean dip cans
Recycle the party
Oh, yeah!
