Grey boxes on the pavement
Grey boxes in a row
They’re waiting for what’s yet to come
Grey boxes in a row

Grey boxes full of garbage
Grey boxes in a row
Still waiting staring down the street
Grey boxes in a row

And when he comes he lifts them
up with his machine
And puts them down for all to see
And puts them in a row

Grey boxes on the pavement
Grey boxes in a row
They’re empty, not so smelly, now
These boxes in a row
