Chewing Gum Wrapper

(album: Rockin' And Romance - 1985)

I saw the chewing gum wrapper
Saw it after lunch
Faded little cruddy thing
I picked from among the bunch
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper
My eyes would not let go
Saw the little thing that I liked so
Loved the faded colors like would end up at the dump
My heart goes bumpety, bumpety, bumpety bump

Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper
Faded by the rain
You got to see it for yourself
My words just can't explain
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper
Dried up by the sun
Someone else got to feel this way, I can't be the only one
Who loves the faded colors like would end up at the dump
My heart goes bumpety, bumpety, bumpety bump

Faded plenty and corroded some
I saw the chewing gum wrapper
I picked it up just like a bum
Cruddy little, cruddy little, cruddy little thing
Full of dirt and it was full of grit
I saw the chewing gum wrapper
But colors like that you can't git
Cruddy little cruddy little cruddy little cruddy little

Well, cruddy little chewing gum wrapper
My heart would not let go
The colors hypnotize me, and I love them so
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper
This I must say
These colors move me more than most or what I see today
I love the faded colors like would end up at the dump
My heart goes bumpety, bumpety, bumpety bump

Faded plenty and corroded some
I saw the chewing gum wrapper
I picked it up just like a bum
Cruddy little, cruddy little, cruddy little thing
Full of dirt and it was full of grit
I saw the chewing gum wrapper
But colors like that you can't git
Cruddy little cruddy little cruddy little cruddy little

I saw the chewing gum wrapper
When I was on a walk
I saw the faded green
And I could barely talk
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper
Dried up by the sun
Someone else got to feel this way, I can't be the only one
I love the faded colors like would end up at the dump
My heart goes bumpety, bumpety, bumpety bump...
