Carl plays his version of the song 16 Tons which he calls 16 Bins. Recorded at The Carnegie Centre.
16 bins
Ya know binning just ain't no 9 to 5
Some folks are binners just to stay alive
Sometimes dumpster diving is a steady gig
Just bin and dig til ya lose your wig
Ya dive 16 bins and whad'da ya get
Enough for yer dinner and cigarettes
I'm Mr. Mcbinner and I oughta know
I wrote that story 'bout the bin that's gold
I started young now I'm 54
Use to take my load to the liquor store
Now United We Can is where I go
Just ask Ken he's a man that knows
Ya dive 16 bins and whad'da ya get
Enough for yer dinner and cigarettes
I'm Mr. Mcbinner and I oughta know
I wrote that story 'bout the bin that's gold
Ya see 'em early in the morning and late at nite
Some wear a costume Wow! What a sight!
Some so stoned they've flipped their lid
But that is something I never did (much)
Ya dive 16 bins and whad'da ya get
Enough for yer dinner and cigarettes
I'm Mr. Mcbinner and I oughta know
I wrote that story 'bout the bin that's gold
If you see me comin' hope you can donate
A panhandler is the only thing i hate
I sure don't need no spare change, man
I make my coin from aluminum cans
Ya dive 16 bins and whad'da ya get
Enough for yer dinner and cigarettes
I'm Mr. Mcbinner and I oughta know
I wrote that story 'bout the bin that's gold
