Lyrics
Excuse me, I'd like to make a hit record
Certainly, sir, did you bring any old records with you?
Well, no, why?
Well, you see, we can't possibly make any new
Records unless we've got some old ones to melt down
Good heavens, bad as that, is it?
'Fraid so, sir
Take good care of my baby
What was that?
Oh, take no notice, that was just a bit of
An old record that was used to make this one
Good grief
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I got Tchaikovsky and the Blue Suede Shoes
Jumpin' in the same spiral groove
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
One day, as I was walking along
I had a great idea, I thought I'd write a hit song
Make a little money from a happy tune
(Carolina moon)
And there it goes again, it makes me wanna cry
The recycled vinyl just won't die
(She wears red feathers and a hoody-hooey skirt)
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I got Tchaikovsky and the Blue Suede Shoes
Jumpin' in the same old groove
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I'm only halfway to paradise
Some people dig the good life, some dig the latest sound
Some people just dig up the world, there's money underground
They dig out all the copper, uranium, and zinc
But I could really dig it if they'd only stop to think
Now, everybody knows you have to put back what you take
Who'd ride a rollercoaster if they knew it had no brake?
It took a million years for us to crawl out from the sea
Five'll get you ten, they can't recycle you or me
Who wants to be a millionaire?
I don't
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I got Tchaikovsky and the Blue Suede Shoes
Jumpin' in the same spiral groove
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I got Tchaikovsky and the Blue Suede Shoes
Boppin' in the same spiral groove
I got the recycled vinyl blues
