I Had an Old Coat (The Recycling Song)

I Had an Old Coat (The Recycling Song) - Paul Kaplan

I had an old coat and the coat got torn

What'll I do (what'll I do)

(repeat)

I had an old coat and the coat got torn

So I cut it down and a jacket was born

And I sing every day of my life

In a couple of years those threads got thin
What 'll I do (What 'll I do)
(repeat)
In a couple of years those threads got thin
So I called it a shirt and I tucked it in
And I sing every day of my life

Then the arms wore out in the east and west
What 'll I do (What 'll I do)
(repeat)
Then the arms wore out in the east and west
So I pulled them off and I had a vest
And I sing every day of my life

Then the vest got stained with cherry pie
What'll I do (what'll I do)
(repeat)
Then the vest got stained with cherry pie
So I cut and sewed 'til I had a tie
And I sing every day of my life

But soon that tie was looking lean
What'll I do (what'll I do)
(repeat)
But soon that tie was looking lean
But it made a fat patch for my old blue jeans
And I sing every day of my life

And when that patch was next to nuttin'
What 'll I do (what'll I do)
(repeat)
And when that patch was next to nut tin'
I rolled it up into a button
And I sing every day of my life

And when that button was almost gone
What 'll I do (What 'll I do)
(repeat)
And when that button was almost gone
With what was left I made this song
Which I sing every day of my life
