With a little bit of polish, paint and glue
You can patch things up, make them ‘nearly new’
If you don’t want them, pass them on.
If your hockey sweater doesn’t seem to fit,
And your sister doesn’t want your catcher’s mitt,
Don’t toss them out – pass them on.

CHORUS:
‘Cause yesterday’s treasures
Bring you brand new pleasures,
Used for you is new to me!

If your winter jacket is much too small
And your tennis racquet’s on the wall,
Don’t toss them out – pass them on.

If you don’t want or just can’t use it,
Somebody else can come and choose it,
Just patch it up and pass it on ‘cause

CHORUS:

There are dress-up clothes, a garden hose.
A hula hoop, a pot for soup,
A frying pan, a Chinese fan,
A teddy bear and a rocking chair
A scarf and coat and toys that float.

CHORUS:
‘Cause yesterday’s treasures
Bring you brand new pleasures,
Something used for you can be
Something used for you is new to ME!!!
