Shel Silverstein Sahra Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would not
Take the Garbage out Lyrics:
Oh Sahra Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take the
garbage out She'd wash the dishes and scrub the
pans cook the yams and spice the hams And though
her parents would scream and shout She simply
would not take the garbage out And so it piled up
to the ceilings coffee grounds potato peelings
Brown bananas and rotten peas chunks of sour
cottage cheese It filled the can it covered the
floor it cracked the windows and blocked the door
With bacon rinds and chicken bones drippy ends of
icecream cones Prone pits peach pits orange peel
gloppy glumps of cold oat meal Pizza crust and
withered greens soggy beans and tangerines Crust
of black burned buttered toast gristly bits of
beefy roast The garbage rolled on down the hall it

raised the roof it broke the walls I mean greesy
napkins cookie crumbs blobs of gooey bubble gum
Cellophane from old baloney rubber blubbry
macaroni Peanut butter caced and dry curdled off
milk and crusts of pie Ridy melons dried up
mustard eggs shells mixed with lemon custard Cold
french fries and rancid meat yellow lumps of cream
of wheat Uuh at last the garbage reached so high
that finally it touched the sky And none of her
friends would come to play and all the neighbors
moved away And finally Sahra Cynthia Sylvia Stout
said okay I'll take the garbage out But then of
course it was too late the garbage reached across
the state From New York to the Golden Gate and
there in the garbage she did hate Poor Sahra met
an awful fate then I cannot right now relate
Because the hour is much too late But children
remember Sylvia Stout and always take the garbage
out
