This here's a story about paper makin' And this little class that I've been takin' We make paper but not out of trees We use old rags and dungerees How do we do it? You'll see First we cut 'em into pieces that are kind of small Then we put 'em in a beater than beats 'em all Turns 'em into pulp that is kinda like soup Then we pour it into buckets and we stir up the goop Sounds fun, right? Then we take a wooden frame and we dip it in the mix And we shake out the water, that's how we get our kicks Then we open up the frame and slap it on the tray First I had a little trouble, but, it turned out okay Not as easy as it looks Then we stack it in a press And we tighten the screws This flattens the paper And the water gets excused We open up the press Take our paper off the pile And we stick it on the window (sounds like winda) And we leave it there a while Paper's dryin' now The pink one's mine We take our paper off the window once it's good and dry This takes a little doing Oh, and by the by See the different colors Reds, yellows and greens? Remember these were rags once And old blue jeans Really kind of amazin' Well, now our paper makin' day is done Hope you liked it, we had fun If you ever get the chance You should give it a try But now we gotta go So we're gonna say good-bye Kids: Bye!
