"If every kid did it"

[redBoobergurl]

Ok, I need some help. Does anyone remember or have the lyrics to a song that went with a cartoon about garbage? All I can remember is the part that goes "if every kid did it, can't you see what a messy world this would be" I tried looking it up on the website of Sesame Street song archives, but I don't even know what it's called.

In addition, if anyone has or knows where I could get an MP3 of this song, I would be eternally grateful!

Thanks!

Hey Beth,
I don't have the MP3 but here's the lyrics:
Willie Wimple went a’ boating
Making dirty water here
Pouring stuff there, 'till the gunk was everywhere
Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What an icky mess it would be?

No place for fish to swim
No lakes for sailing in
No rivers, no streams, no submarines,
No swimming ever again!

Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What an icky, messy, no-fun world it would be?
Yuck!


Willie Wimple went a’ walking
And he chopped a tree here(?)
He threw his trash there, till the junk was everywhere
Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What a messy place it would be?

No room for a marching band
No place for people to stand
No yards to play in, ---- to stay in,
Just trash across our land
Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What an ugly, awful, no-fun world it would be?
Yuck!

There ya go!

Thank you Kathy! I really appreciate it! I just couldn't find it anywhere!

Now, does anyone else know where to get an MP3?

There's another SS song with the same theme. "the Garden" sung by Susan and Oscar. It's on the second official SS cast album which I listened to religiously as a kid. Oscar thinks there's nothing wrong with throwing a little piece of trash on the ground, and Susan explains to him that if everyone did it we'd have a "Glop glop grungy glub garden."

Oh yeah, that's a classic, albeit somewhat forgotten ecology song from the show. I'm not sure if it was ever used in an actual skit, but it was great on the album. Some of the Sesame Street 2 albums came with an illustrated song book that had pictures to go with the lyrics.
