Green Stamps

Thrill me with your green stamps I love your little green stamps I took collecting green stamps I love the way they look Oh how I love to pick them I pick them up, and lick them I lick them, then I stick them In my brown green stamp book All day and night I'm dreaming I'm dreaming of redeeming My green stamps for a toaster, So gleaming and deluxe Oh how it will thrill me, And please me and fulfill me, To know my toaster only cost me Fourteen hundred bucks I drive up to the market I stop my car and park it I buy a lot of strange things Of which I've never heard I buy, though it's not urgent, Two truckloads of detergent, Three hundred pounds of bird seed, Though I don't have a bird Some extract of vanilla, Enough to feed Godzilla Then I'll trade all my green stamps For something I can drive A car is what I hope for, What I bought all that soap for They promise me the first Studebaker Made in 1965 --- Green Stamps - Allan Sherman
