Now, it wasn't long ago,
And you know who you are,
Walking in the parking lot
Looking for your car!
You were tired of your gum;
No trash can was around.
You didn't wrap it up,
You just threw it on the ground!
And, now I'm going in circles
Because of you, you, you!
And the sticky bubble gum
That you like to chew, chew, chew!
I was the one
Who stepped in your gum!
And I'm going in circles
Because of YOU!
Now, I tried the best I could,
But it was sticky bubble gum.
And I was getting hot under
The blazing summer sun.
Well, I did the only thing
That I could think to do.
I untied the laces
And I left my tennis shoe.
And, now I'm hopping to the mall
Because of you, you, you!
And the sticky bubble gum
That you like to chew, chew, chew!
Sad, but true
I left my tennis shoe.
Now I'm hopping to the mall
Because of YOU!
Now, some folks never had the chance
To step in bubble gum.
And I'm sure when they throw it down
They think it won't hurt anyone.
But all you need to do
Is take a look at me.
And if you're in a parking lot
This is what you'll see
Because,
I'm tiptoeing to the mall
Because of you, you, you!
And the sticky bubble gum
That you like to chew, chew, chew!
When no trash can is around,
Oh, please don't throw it down.
Put it in your pocket,
In your hair.
Anywhere but on the ground!
Because, I can't afford another shoe!!!!!!!!
