When i was three years old
I got up early once a week and stood outside in the cold
When people would come up to me
And asked what do you wanna be
There wasn't any doubt in my mind
When i grow up, when i grow upI'm gonna drive a garbage-truck
Ok, it's not the most glamorous job in the world
You drive around from street to streetAnd pick up other people's dirtBut one time when he came to our house
He looked at me and smiled
Oh man, garbage-truck driver won't you take me for a ride
When i grow up, when i grow up
I'm gonna drive a garbage-truck
I never wanted to be a doctor
I never wanted to practice law
I never wanted to work in a barber shop
The only thing i wanted growing up
Was to drive a garbage-truck
