Here inside my paper cup

Everything is looking up

On one comes in, no one goes out

Nothin' to get hung up about

I'm free and it's so easy to get by

'Cause I don't try



In my paper cup

I have installed a shower stall

Across the hall

Running water and a den

It's looking just like home again

I'm free and I've installed refrigerated air

You'd have to look inside

Before you'd know that I was there

And everybody says I'm quite insane

And someday I'll be going down the drain

I know they're right

But I feel no pain



Here inside my paper cup

Everything is looking up

On one goes out, no one comes in

It's lookin just like home again

I'm free and it's so easy to get

The things I've always wanted

'Cause I don't really want 'em anymore

Living ain't so bad without a rudder

Life is kind a groovy in the gutter

If you know how, and I do

So if you'd like to come along

We'll sing a little paper song

About a lonely paper plate

Who couldn't find a paper mate

I'm free, yes, I'm free

And my life is looking up

From inside my paper cup

And I'm always looking up

From inside my paper cup
