Intro:
There’s a peanut butter jar in the trash!  Oh no this won’t do, I’ll rescue it fast!

I’m a recyclin’ re-user, an expert reducer
Being green’s the thing to do
I’m a recyclin’ re-user, an expert reducer
And I got a challenge for you
Look all around you and see what you got
It’s a really easy thing to do
A game of take something old, make something new
And you can play along with us too!

I took my peanut butter jar, rinsed it in the sink
I turned it around now what do you think?
What can we make? What can we play?
Put your thinking caps on, it’s time for the game!

Step 1.  Clean it up
Step 2.  Imagination
Step 3.  Creation

I know, a glove
A piggy bank
A fish bowl
A pencil jar  (what could YOU make out of it?)

I’m a recyclin’ re-user, an expert reducer
Being green’s the thing to do
I’m a recyclin’ re-user, an expert reducer
And I got a challenge for you
Look all around you and see what you got
It’s a really easy thing to do
A game of take something old, make something new
And you can play along with us too!

I took my cereal box, Flattened it out
Turned it around, now what’s that about?
What can we make?  What can we play?
Put your thinking caps on, it’s time for the game!

Step 1: clean it up!
Step 2:  imagination
Step 3: creation

It’s a game board
It’s a guitar
It’s a shield of armor
It’s a canvas for my next masterpiece! (what could YOU make out of it?)

I’m a recyclin’ re-user, an expert reducer
Being green’s the thing to do
I’m a recyclin’ re-user, an expert reducer
And I got a challenge for you
Look all around you and see what you got
It’s a really easy thing to do
A game of take something old, make something new
And you can play along with us too!

I took an old tin can, washed it out clean
Turned it around, I’m a recycling machine!
What can we make?  What can we play?
Put your thinking caps, it’s time for the game!

Step 1.  Clean it up
Step 2.  Imagination
Step 3.  Creation

It’s a shaker
I can make a telephone
It’s a rolling pin
It’s a building block
It’s a caxixi! (what could YOU make out of it?)

I’m a recyclin’ re-user, an expert reducer
Seems I’m not the only one
This song’s almost over, but the game’s just begun
I hope you’re having lots of fun
I hope you’re having lots of fun
We know you’re having lots of fun!!
