The Glamour... Of Dumpster Diving (nuvocoke@gmail.com)

one of my favorite things to find is free stuff on the street...
jeans, or a jacket, or a pair of shoes at the price that can't be beat
people throw the damndest stuff away, you barely see it when you're driving...
but, if you frequent city sidewalks & alleyways, you are a prime candidate for

(hook) the glamour... of dumpster diving... (twice)

(CHORUS) the glamour of dumpster diving lets you sample everything...
the glamour of dumpster diving lets you dress up like a king...
if you need some furniture, or jewelery, just be patient and you get it for free
if you're lonely and need some company, you might even find a homeless live thing
all your dreams come true with the glamour... of dumpster diving... (hook)

I've spent more than a night in a doorway... homeless with nothing to eat...
my 4 corners were inside a cardboard box with some newspapers as my sheets...
now, I don't really advise that style of life, it's the art of barely surviving
but, if you find yourself awake in that sorry state, you need to learn the skills
secrets and the glamour... of dumpster diving... (hook)

(sing along chant) the glamour of dumpster diving... (multi times)
all your dreams come true with the glamour... of dumpster diving...

the city dumpsters are like a hometown buffet, every manner of food can be found,
fast food, takeout, or fancy gourmet, most times it's barely touched the ground...
if organic's for you, there are crates to sort through, just pay attention to when
they're arriving... it's all good, though it's old, to feed your body & soul...
the government subsidized program known as the glamour... of dumpster diving (CHORUS)

(sing along chant) the glamour of dumpster diving... (multi times)
