This song is available on Sun Sun Shine: Songs for Curious Children.

What goes up must come down,
What we drop's gonna litter this town,
But what we throw in the garbage can
Just gonna fill up the garbage land.

Throwing it out is a big mistake,
The world is made of give and take.
Stash that bottle when you're through,
Watch it come back something new.

Chorus:
It goes farther than a bi-cycle
Holds up better than a tri-cycle
Gonna run this country on a re-cycle,
Making the wheels go round.

Summer, fall, winter, spring,
Cycles are in everything.
Paper and aluminum
Heading back where they come from

Chorus

Up and down, to and fro,
That's what makes the engine go.
Bring it in, don't throw it out,
Grass and trees gonna jump and shout,

Chorus
