Steven and Shane were dumpster diving
Their hands were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they moved with expert timing

There was a chunky teddy bear, and funky underwear
They were picking stuff up and throwing it down
It's an ancient redneck art
And they both knew their part
    Shane had a busted lip
And Steven had a bruised hip

Steven and Shane were dumpster diving
Their hands were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they moved with expert timing

There was an old lady watching and she began to shout
Shane said here comes the cops, we better get out
Steven started to run when he saw the cops gun
His shoelace made him trip now he's got a busted lip

This parody is dedicated to my sons
Who I am sure will remember their Dumpster Diving
escapade in 1995. One Saturday morning I awoke
to a yard filled with my neighbors trash that my two sons had
"rescued" from the dumpster!

After they spent the morning searching for the
"2nd" Nike tennis shoe, which was never found...
All of the trash had to be cleaned up and put back in
the dumpster. I still cringe to think
that  my neighbors were wondering
what I was doing with  their
" Leather Cowgirl Vest with fringe" in my yard!
