Don't Pick It Up lyrics

Don't pick it up, yo!

I saw a little kid as he walked around

He picked a candy bar up off the ground

He chowed about a half then his face turned blue

Turned out that candy bar was a doggy-doo

(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say

(Whoa-oh) Unless you can throw it away

(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say

You're gonna be bummed that you went that way

You're out there makin' bacon, no scrutiny

You mess around too much and you got VD

You know you never think and you're sore today

You're gonna take it back to California-yay

(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say

(Whoa-oh) Unless you can throw it away

(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say

You're gonna be bummed that you went that way

Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't!

(Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!)

So...

My friend was kinda hurtin' a girl to try

He saw one that looked like Pat on Saturday Night Live

It had a pair of thingies, a mustache too

Not clearly male nor female, so what to do

(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say

(Whoa-oh) Unless you can throw it away

(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say

You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
