I've been working in municipal government in Sunnyvale and now Cupertino, California promoting waste reduction and recycling. There's a group around here that adapts songs and performs musicals at conferences too (The NCRA Players) but I didn't know others existed! You made my day! I once got coworkers to sing environmentally altered lyrics to "I Love Rock and Roll" and "Hey, Jude."
Thanks for the laughs today!

lyrics
It ain’t new (Oh yeah)
It’s re-used (Oh yeah)
It ain’t new (Oh yeah)
When you got something old and it’s gotta go
What are you gonna do?
You know eBay ain’t the only way
To get rid of something old but good
If you bought brand new when you could re-use
Know that you were doing wrong
Oh if you needed gear, and you went to Ikea
You know that you were doing wrong
CHORUS:
I say re-use shop, oh re-use
Oh yeah, re-use shop’s the place for you
I say re-use shop, oh re-use
Oh yeah, re-use shop’s the place for you
It ain’t new (Oh yeah)
It’s re-used (Oh yeah)
It ain’t new (Oh yeah)
If you got a spare old comfy chair
Re-use shop’s the place for you
If you gotta chuck an old toy truck
Oh yeah, re-use shop’s the place for you
CHORUS
At the CA site, you can do it right
Oh yeah, re-use shop’s the place for you
It’s the place to be, HWRC
Oh yeah, re-use shop’s the place for you
If you bought brand new when you could re-use
Know that you were doing wrong
If you don’t re-use, then we all lose
You know that you are doing wrong
CHORUS
