Tim Minchin - Canvas Bags lyrics

rate me

Take your canvas bags

When you go

To the supermarket

Why use plastic bags when you know

You know the world can’t take it

Take your canvas bags

When you go

To the supermarket market market

Don’t you use those plastic ones

No, no, no

Don’t you know that you’ll feel better for it

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

Take your canvas bags

To the supermarket

Just think about the world

And how the world would be fantastic

If we got rid of all the plastic

We just need to get enthusiastic

Start a competition gymnastic

Or a bag making comp at your school

Fuck it, make it interscholastic

Canvas is for everyone

Whether you be rebellious and iconoclastic

Or conservative or ecclesiastic

I don’t care if you’re loud and bombastic

Or quiet or virtually monastic

Sober or on the floor spastic

Yoga master or completely inelastic

I’m not trying to be ironic or sarcastic

Just do something drastic

To rid the world of plastic
