Green Stamps<br />

Thrill me with your Green Stamps.<br />

I love your little Green Stamps.<br />

I took collecting Green Stamps.<br />

I love the way they look.<br />

Oh how I love to pick them.<br />

I pick them up, and lick them.<br />

I lick them, then I stick them<br />

In my brown Green Stamp book.<br />

All day and night I'm dreaming.<br />

I'm dreaming of redeeming<br />

My Green Stamps for a toaster,<br />

So gleaming and deluxe.<br />

Oh how it will thrill me,<br />

And please me and fulfill me,<br />

To know my toaster only cost me<br />

Fourteen hundred bucks.<br />

I drive up to the market.<br />

I stop my car and park it.<br />

I buy a lot of strange things<br />

Of which I've never heard.<br />

I buy, though it's not urgent,<br />

Two truckloads of detergent,<br />

Three hundred pounds of bird seed,<br />

Though I don't have a bird.<br />

Some extract of vanilla,<br />

Enough to feed Godzilla.<br />

Then I'll trade all my Green Stamps<br />

For something I can drive.<br />

A car is what I hope for,<br />

What I bought all that soap for.<br />

They promise me the first Studebaker<br />

Made in 1965
