Oscar's Junk Band

 " OSCAR  ’ s   JUNK   Band  "  was performed by  OSCAR THE GROUCH  &  his   JUNK  Band. The song was performed when Bob  was about to throw out an old broom handle, till  OSCAR  rescues it for  his  wash tub bass , leading t o a song about recycling. Bob compliment s  their   environmental  message, but  OSCAR  simply tell s  him   he  does not care.

Lyric s
 OSCAR  :

 I   know   a   lot   of   fo lk s   who   are   extremely   loyal 

 To   a   banjo   or   a nice   guitar 

 But   I   prefer   a   greasy   can   of   olive   oil 

 With   a   broken   broom   handle   by   far 

 Some   peo ple   think   the   sound   of   a   trombone ' s   divine 

 But   I   think   wet   paper   &   a   comb   are   fine 

 So   blow   t h e   soda   bottle,   let   the   soup   cans crash 

 Cause  1| 1   guy ’ s   treasure   is   another   guy ’ s   TRASH 

 OSCAR  ’ s  JUNK  Band :

 Come   on   &   hear   OSCAR ’ s   JUNK   Band 

 OSCAR  :

 Some   music   fans   appreciate   the   pedal   steel 

 Or   a   clarinet   or   violin 

 But   me   I   LOVE   the   sound   of   dried   up   orange   peel 

 When   you   shake   it   in   a   sardine   tin 

 You   keep   your   tuba   give   me   paper   tubes   to   play 

 Don ' t   w ant   a   glockenspiel,   I   want   an   ice - cube   tray 

 We   like   it   rusty,   dusty ,   bust ed ,   bent or   old 

 Cause  1| 1   gal ’ s   GARBAGE   is   another   gal ’ s   gold
