Dan, The Man Who Lived In A Can

For Dan, who I hope isn't living in a can right now.

Dan, Dan lives in a can,
He wants to be a garbage man.
Then he'd be able to use his hands,
To pick up all the cans.
Take the trash out and put it in the truck,
Pull the lever and turn it into muck.

Dan, Dan lives in a can.
Along came the trash man,
And picked up Dan's can,
Dumped him into the truck,
Pulled the lever, and turned him into muck.

Dan, Dan lived in a can.
Where is Dan?
He is a Red Muck,
In the back of the truck.
