Take Out the Trash Lyrics
Girl! Why not take out the trash?
And once you get him out, tell him not to come back again.
Girl! Put that cat in the bin!
After what he said, after everything he did.
YOU had him figured out a while ago.
And I know it's not exactly breaking news.
But it's ALL been a little like a trial for you.
And a bunch more talking won't make him true!
Oh come on,
Girl! Why not take out the trash?
And once you get him out, tell him not to come back again.
Girl! Why not give him the slip?
Get the good, get straight, get the go-getter good and gone!
Why? It's a claim that he's just making it up.
And he still gotcha coming back for more.
Why? You never ever think of breaking it up.
Tell me why that deal's gonna close that door?
Oh come on,
Girl! Why not take out the trash?
And once you get him out, tell him not to come back again.
Girl! Why not give him the slip?
Get the good, get straight, get the go-getter good and gone!
I'm not saying all the boys are the same,
but some boys are the same,
and it's Thursday now.
I'm not saying all the boys are the same,
but some boys are the same,
and it's Thursday now.
I'm not saying all the boys are the same,
but some boys are the same,
and it's Thursday now.

It's about a suggestion for a girl to dump a guy, obviously. Good song.
I find it a bit ironic that the speaker's asking her to "take out the trash" even though he doesn't want her to take him out any more...I'm guessing that's intentional, but I don't know why.
When you take out the trash, you are removing it from your home. This is the equivalent of breaking up with the guy. Kicking him to the curb, so to speak. Leaving him for the Garbageman to pickup and dispose of permanently.
Any insight into the "It's Thursday now" line? Could that have something to do with trash day?
I think it's either trash day or something to do with getting rid of him before the weekend..?

This should be the theme song for the next Bond movie...it has such a '60s spy movie sound to it.
The "cat" in question could just as easily be a lousy boyfreind OR a double agent.
I adore this song - so FUN, plus reminding me to not put up with a bad situation. tronfo I see what you mean, he's extending the metaphor I guess.
I could SO make a George Lopez sitcom music video to this song!
