The Tote Bag Song


by Jerry Ratch


You can ask so many questions

Of what's it all about

You can empty out the closets

And roll the mothballs out

 

But no one has the answers

It's all a mystery

There's a bigger picture

But it's really hard to see

 

Then it all comes down to a tote bag

That's what it's all about

A few knick-knacks, mementos

And a coat turned inside out

It all comes down to a tote bag

That's what it's all about

 

They'll toss out all your stuff

Nothing left no more

It really does get tough

No need to win or score

 

Why are we on this planet?

It's going down the slippery slope

That's made of mud and granite

And runs you out of hope

 

Then it all comes down to a tote bag

That's what it's all about

A few knick-knacks, mementos

And a coat turned inside out

It all comes down to a tote bag

That's what it's all about

 

You can ride into the sunset

On your horse or truck or car

Ask the universe deep questions

But you really won't get far

 

‘Cause it all comes down to a tote bag

That's what it's all about

A few knick-knacks, mementos

And a coat turned inside out

 

It all comes down to a tote bag

That's what it's all about

Yeah, it all comes down to a tote bag

That's what it's all about
