I Love Trash

thumb|300px|right I Love Trash is Oscar the Grouch's most popular song.

It was first sung in Sesame Street Season 1. The song was retaped several times as the Oscar puppet evolved.

In a Season 29 episode Oscar sang "Grouches Love Trash" a variation of this song to his niece Irvine. In episode 3891 his old friend Felix the Grouch sang a variation called "I Love Cleaning" while Oscar sang I Love Trash. Yet another variation occurs when Oscar's trash can was grown to a larger size and the lyrics were adjusted to accomodate.

Oscar also sang the song during an appearance on The Bonnie Hunt Show.

 * A sneaker that's tattered and worn. It's all full of holes and the laces are torn. Given to Oscar as a newborn baby by his mother.
 * Some newspaper 13 months old with smelly, old fish wrapped inside.
 * A clock that won't work
 * An old telephone
 * A broken umbrella
 * A rusty trombone

Lyrics
Oh, I love trash!

Anything dirty or dingy or dusty!

Anything ragged or rotten or rusty!

Yes, I love trash!

If ya really wanna see somethin trashy look at this!

I have here a sneaker that's tattered and worn!

It's all full of holes and the laces are torn!

A gift from my mother the day I was born!

I love it because it's trash!

Oh, I love trash!

Anything dirty or dingy or dusty!

Anything ragged or rotten or rusty!

Yes, I love trash!

Here's some more rotten stuff!

I have here some newspaper thirteen months old!

I wrapped fish inside it; it's smelly and cold!

But I wouldn't trade it for a big pot o' gold!

I love it because it's trash!

Yes, I love trash!

Anything dirty or dingy or dusty!

Anything ragged or rotten or rusty!

Yes, I love trash!

Now look at the rest a this junk!

I've a clock that won't work!

And an old telephone!

''A broken umbrella, a rusty trombone!  And I am delighted to call 'em my own!''

I love 'em because they're trash!

Oh, I love trash!

Anything dirty or dingy or dusty!

Anything ragged or rotten or rusty!

Yes, I love, I love, I...love trash!
