Plastic

Now a little bitty termite, he come knockin',
 Knockin' at my front door,
 He walked right in, sat right down
 Started nibblin' on the kitchen floor
 He chewed on the walls and the ceilings and the halls
 Lord knows he tried
 But he kept a-gettin' thinner
 And he never got no dinner
 And finally he sat up and cried
 He said, "It's plastic, good Lord, it's plastic!
 I know it ain't no wood
 And it can't do me no good,
 Because it's plastic -- and you can't eat plastic,
 Everything's gonna be plastic by and by!"
 Then one afternoon in the month of June
 I went down to the beach.
 There were cuties and beauties in little bathin' suits
 And all of them within my reach.
 Then a 38-24-36 miss just happened to be passin' my way.
 I said, "Please don't think I'm nervy, but you look so very curvy
 Please tell me how you got that way!"
 She said, "It's plastic it's only plastic,
 It's pretty as can be, but you know that it ain't me,
 Because they're plastic, oh yes they're plastic,
 Everything's gonna be plastic by and by."
