Lyrics
 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 guy ' s treasure is another guy ' s  trash 

 OSCAR  ' s  JUNK  Band :

 In  OSCAR  ' s  JUNK  Band ,  OSCAR  ' s  JUNK   Band 

 Stamp your mud dy  feet & clap your dirty hands 

 We ' re gonna play the  JUNK  i est tune you can st and 

 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 want a glockenspiel,  I  want an ice - cube tray 

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

 Cause 1 gal ' s  garbage  is another gal ' s gold 

 OSCAR  ' s  JUNK  Band '' :   In  OSCAR  ' s  JUNK  Band ,  OSCAR  ' s  JUNK   Band ''

 Stamp your mud dy  feet & clap your dirty hands 

 We ' re gonna play the  JUNK  i est tune you can st and 

 Come on & hear  OSCAR  ' s  JUNK  Band 

 OSCAR  ' s  JUNK  Band  :

 We ' re  OSCAR  ' s  JUNK  Band ,  OSCAR  ' s  JUNK   Band 

 Stamp your mud dy  feet & clap your dirty hands 

 We ' re gonna play the  JUNK  i est tune you can st and 

 Come on & hear  OSCAR  ' s  JUNK  Band 

 Come on & hear  OSCAR  ' s  JUNK  Band , oh yeah !

 Come on & hear  OSCAR  '  JUNK  Band
