David Roth – I Do Not Need A Bag 
 I go shopping every day, I buy lots of things
 Paper clips and party hats, rubber bands and rings
 And when I've picked out what I want and comes the time to pay
 They ask me how I want it wrapped and this is what I say
 
 I do not need a bag, I do not need a bag
 I do not need a bag, I do not need a bag
 To take a brand new bag
 Each time I shop's a drag
 Thank you kindly but I do not need a bag
 
 I went into the kitchen to fix a bite to eat
 I had a taste for something tart or maybe something sweet
 But every shelf I opened up and every drawer was stuffed
 With supermarket paper sacks and plastic pouches puffed
 
 I do not need these sacks, I do not need these sacks
 I do not need these sacks, I do not need these sacks
 With all these extra sacks
 I cannot find my snacks
 Thank you kindly but I do not need these sacks
 
 The trees out in the forest, they are friends to me
 They're fun to climb and give me shade and air to breathe
 And plastic bags do not biodegrade too well
 In landfills and in garbage dumps
 They suffocate the Earth...and they smell
 
 So now I take a cotton bag when I go to the store
 I've used it many, many times, I'm sure I'll use it more
 And every time I use my bag I help to save a tree
 If everybody did the same, just think how smart that'd be
 
 We wouldn't waste our bags, we wouldn't waste our trees
 We'd have more branching out, we'd have less plastic sleaze
 We'd have more bark, less bite, we'd have more piles of leaves
 Oh, I'll never take a bag that I don't need
 
 I do not need a bag, I do not need a bag
 I do not need a bag, I do not need a bag
 To take a brand new bag
 Each time I shop's a drag
 
 Thank you kindly but I do not
 Thank you kindly but I do not
 Thank you kindly but I do not need a bag
