Stand By Your Can Lyrics - Sesame Street

Miss Hammy Swinette and her trashcan! 

Sometimes it's hard to be a trashcan 

When folks get piggier each day 

They throw their trash down 

They throw it all 'round 

But no one's throwing it away 

This is a park it ain't no pig sty 

Why don't you lend a helping hand 

And toss your trash in 

This big old trash bin 

'Cause after all it's just a can 

Background pigs: Oink, oink, oink, oink 

Stand by your can 

Give it your trash to cling to 

Make it the one you run to 

With all your peels and wrappers 

Stand by your can 

And give it all your garbage 

Don't make a mess-up if you land 

Stand by your can 

Oink, oink, oink, oink 

Stand by your can 

And give it all your garbage 

Don't make a mess-up if you land 

Stand by your can! 

Trashcan: Oh Hammy, thanks for putting garbage back in my life! 

Hammy: You deserve it darlin'
