Song lyrics

[Tim]
Take your canvas bags
When you go
To the supermarket
Why use plastic bags when you know
You know the world can't take it

Take your canvas bags
When you go
To the supermarket market market yeah yeah
Don't you use those plastic ones
No, no, no
Don't you know that you'll feel better for it

Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
To the supermarket
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
To the supermarket

[Ensemble]
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
To the supermarket

[Tim (Ensemble)]
Break it down
Take your canvas (take your canvas bags), take your canvas
Take your canvas bags (take your canvas bags)
To the supermarket (take your canvas bags)
(To the supermarket) All the ladies in the house come on and let me hear you say 'canvas'

[Female Ensemble]
Canvas!

[Tim]
All the fellas in the house come on and let me hear you say 'bags'

[Male Ensemble]
Bags!

[Tim]
Yeah!

[Tim & Ensemble]
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags to the supermarket

[Tim]
Just think about the world
And how the world would be fantastic
If we could get rid of all the plastic
We just need to get enthusiastic
Organise a competition, gymnastic
Or a bag-making comp at your school
Fuck it, make it interscholastic
Canvas is for everyone
Whether you be rebellious and iconoclastic
Or conservative or ecclesiastic
I don't care if you're loud and bombastic
Or quiet or virtually monastic
Sober or on the floor spastic
A yoga master or completely inelastic
I'm not trying to be ironic or sarcastic
Do something drastic
To rid the world of plastic

[Tim & Ensemble]
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags to the supermarket

[Ensemble]
Take your canvas bags

[Tim & Ensemble]
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags to the supermarket
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags to the

[Tim]
Supermarket
