Drastic Plastic!

DRASTIC PLASTIC!

(To be sung to the tune 'Maria' from 'Sound of Music.')

How did we cope before the days of plastic?
How did we play with toys of tin and wood?
How did we ever think they were fantastic;
Desirable things, acceptable and good?
How did we cope before the days of plastic?
How did we cuddle dolls that didn't speak?
How did the girls and boys
Play with such stupid toys?
Surely the awful things were too antique!
So how did we cope before the days of plastic?
How did we live a life that was so bleak?
*
Children today are swamped by things of plastic!
Children today don't bang on saucepan lids!
Aeroplanes fly without that twirled elastic!
The shops are awash with colour and with kids!
Children today are swamped by things of plastic!
They're used for a while and then they're thrown away.
So how is it in the past
Our playthings were made to last
Back in the days of old when play was play?
But how did we cope before the days of plastic?
Surely our poor old lives were dull and grey!
