I saw the chewing gum wrapper,
Saw it after lunch;
Faded little cruddy thing,
Saw it among the bunch

Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
My eyes would not let go

Loved the faded colors like would end up at the dump,

My heart goes bumpety, bumpety, bumpety bump

Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
Faded by the rain
You got to see it for yourself,
Cause I cannot explain

Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
Dried up by the sun

Someone else got to feel this way, because I can't be the only one

Faded plenty and corroded some,

I saw the chewing gum wrapper,
Saw it after lunch
Faded little cruddy thing,
I picked from among the bunch
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
My eyes would not let go
Saw the little thing that I liked so
Loved the faded colors like would end up at the dump,
My heart goes bumpety, bumpety, bumpety bump
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
Faded by the rain
You got to see it for yourself,
My words just can't explain
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
Dried up by the sun

Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper
[Well I picked up a little gum wrapper
On the street you know
Just like a bum would pick it up
I picked up this little thing
It had green and white
When I see green and white
Ooooh
Especially that kind
It takes me back and gives me the thrill
Well then I saw more little things
In fact was it wrapper candy or wrapper gum?
It was too faded to tell
But I picked it up just like a bum
A little green and white wrapper
Thank you

A little green and white wrapper]

[F] someone else got to feel this way, I can't be the only one
Who [C] loved the faded colors like would [Bb] end up at the dump
My heart go [F] bumpety, bump, my heart go [Bb] bumpe[B]ty [C] bump
For the chewing gum wrapper
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
I saw after lunch;
Faded little cruddy thing,
I picked among the bunch
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
My heart would not let go;
Caught by the colours that my eyes liked so
Loved the faded colors like would end up at the dump,
My heart goes bumpety, bumpety, bumpety bump
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
Faded by the rain;
You got to see it for yourself,
My words just don't explain
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
Dried up by the sun;
Someone else got to feel this way, well I can't be the only one
Who loved the faded colors like would end up at the dump
My heart go bumpety, bump, my heart go bumpety bump
Well, faded plenty and corroded some,
I picked it up just like a bum,
Full of dirt and and full of grit,
But colors like that you can't git,
I saw the wrapper,
When I went on a roam
Saw the faded yellow and I wanted to take things home
Well, cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
This I know;
That them colours hypnotized me, folks I love them so
And I love the little wrappers like would end up at the dump,
My heart go bumpety, bump, my heart go bumpety bump
For the chewing gum wrapper
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
Faded by the rain
Got to see it for yourself
My words just don't explain
Cruddy little chewing gum wrapper,
Dried up by the sun
Someone else got to feel this way, I can't be the only one
Who loved the faded colors like would end up at the dump
My heart go bumpety, bump, my heart go bumpety bump
For the chewing gum wrapper
