There was a little bitty litterbug just hanging around,
His bad behaviour really made the other bugs all frown,
He was a litterbug,
His name was Clive,
And this is a song about him called the Litterbug Jive

[Chorus]
Oh Litterbug, Clive the Litterbug
You can’t sweep that litter under the rug
Oh litterbug, Clive the litterbug
A little Litterbug!

We asked him one day “Clive, just what’s the
matter with you?”
Why do you keep on doing all those little things that you do?
It’s time to stop,
And make a change,
Please don’t allow this litterin’ lifestyle to remain

[Chorus]

Clive stopped for a moment and he tilted his head,
He closed his eyes and thought hard and here’s what he said,
I’m a litterbug,
That’s all I have,
I don’t have another lifestyle I can choose or grab!

[Chorus Reprise]
I’m a litterbug, just Clive the litterbug,
Please don’t sweep me under the rug,
I’m a litterbug! Just Clive the litterbug
A little Litterbug

So here’s what we did…

We talked amongst ourselves and we thought things through,
There must be a way to help him find the right thing to do,
Then we had it,
A brand new role,
It was time for Clive the litterbug to find a new goal

[Chorus]
Oh Litterbug, Clive the Litterbug
No need to sweep your litter under the rug
Oh Litterbug, Clive the Litterbug
Oh little Litterbug!

And from that day forward Clive the litterbug
changed his game,
But he decided to hold onto his litterbug name,
He had a new job,
The best in town,
Picking up all of the litter that was lying around

[Chorus]
Oh Litterbug, Clive the Litterbug,
He won’t sweep that litter under the rug
(We want to give you a great big hug!)
Oh Litterbug, Clive the Litterbug,
Oh little litterbug!
