Take Me Out to the Bag Game

Take me out to the bag game. Take me out to the mall. The dollar store has all the things I lack. Pack them in plastic bags, I will be back. For it’s root, root, root, for the big bag. If it doesn’t split it’s no shame! Cause it’s one, two, three plastic bags At the shop-ping game! Take me out to the ci-ty park. Look right up if you please! Bags hang-ing on tree branches over the town I don’t care if they’re ever torn down. Cause it’s root, root, root for the gar- bags We just love them (we tease) Cause it’s one, two, three plastic bags On your city trees. Take me out to the ocean Take me out to the lake. Watch the whales sigh, hear the sea-gulls cry They swallow plastic bits until they die Mr. Katz says “Yes is the answer.” “What is the question?” says he. “Will you ban all Winnipeg’s plastic bags? He-ro you’ll be!!”
