00:15 Litterbug, litterbug, shame on you.

00:18 Look at the terrible things you do.

00:20 Littering, cluttering every place.

00:23 Why, but it's disgraceful.

00:25 Litterbug, litterbug, where's your pride?

00:28 Making a mess of the countryside.

00:30 Spoiling and spoiling each lovely view.

00:33 Shame, oh shame on you.

00:35 It really makes one wonder what kind of house you keep.

00:40 On every tour the world is your personal garbage heap.

00:44 You fabulous litterbug, litterbug, don't you care?

00:48 People must follow you everywhere.

00:50 Cleaning up places that you've gone to.

00:53 Litterbug, oh shame on you.

00:57 In the war that we wage against pests,

01:01 modern science, of course, never rests.

01:05 The mosquito, we are told, now is largely controlled through oil.

01:11 Sprayed on swamps it infests.

01:14 The boll weevil, relentlessly lusting,

01:18 succumbs to a chemical dusting.

01:21 And where the termite carouses,

01:23 we fumigate houses with gases it finds most disgusting.

01:29 Still, we have no cause to be smug.

01:33 We've invented no poison nor drug

01:37 to settle the score with one pest we abhor

01:41 and contemptibly call litterbug.

01:45 This strange wingless pest we berate

01:48 was unwisely endowed its one trait.

01:52 With claw-like transmitters, it holds, tears, and litters.

01:59 On weekends, three times its own weight.

02:03 Of their habits, this much science knows.

02:07 They stay dormant through seasons of snows,

02:10 behind walls that are thick, made of wood or of brick,

02:15 in their nests built in parallel rows.

02:20 [music]

02:23 They emerge in great numbers in spring

02:26 and at once start to scamper and sing.

02:30 They take pride in their labors,

02:32 competing with neighbors engaged in the very same thing.

02:38 Although proudly, each strives to maintain an immaculate private domain,

02:44 why each one another throws trash on its brother is a paradox none can explain.

02:52 Now, as to the types of litterbugs,

02:56 most common, the unconscious carrier.

03:02 Uses the drop or the pop and drop.

03:08 It possesses no brain for a barrier.

03:11 And when virus inflicts, its litter is carelessly tossed.

03:18 And when tobacco addicted, its trail is not easily lost.

03:24 [music]

03:31 The sports bug.

03:33 Flamboyant and raiment is always loaded for littering entertainment.

03:38 Drop kicking.

03:44 A well placed bunt.

03:49 Drives that are clicking.

03:52 A javelin stunt.

03:55 Ouch! A poor litter man.

03:57 Now the sneak bug is a, is a sneak.

04:03 Methods polished to perfection.

04:06 So smooth in technique they defy human detection.

04:11 Well, it's impossible to follow the sleight of hand action

04:15 unless we slow down that action a fraction.

04:19 [music]

04:36 The young are harmless, lovable creatures

04:39 till their inborn instincts appear and they show their obnoxious features.

04:44 Though receiving no formal training, they achieve amazing results.

04:49 Constantly striving and straining to be as objectionable as the adults.

04:56 [music]

04:58 Summertime is migration time.

05:00 And litter bugs swarm in veritable legions.

05:03 Thousands upon thousands moving on to other regions.

05:08 [music]

05:14 Oh, a frightening experience to be caught in their path.

05:18 The swarm consists of two species, so science teaches.

05:22 One plagues mountains, the other infests beaches.

05:28 The beach bug is attracted by the sparkling white sands and oceans glittering.

05:34 And here it indulges in its favorite pastimes.

05:40 Eating and littering.

05:46 Beach bugs are not nocturnal.

05:48 At sundown they instinctively return to their habitations.

05:52 Archaeologists have unearthed these evidences of previous migrations.

05:57 [music]

06:05 The mountain bug is drawn to woodland splendor where nature is at her best.

06:13 Here it establishes a temporary nest.

06:17 In the crisp mountain air its appetite is far from retarded.

06:21 It eats anything from containers that can be easily discarded.

06:29 Litter bug.

06:30 Litter bug.

06:32 Litter bug.

06:34 Litter bug, shame on you.

06:37 Look at the terrible things you do.

06:39 Littering, fluttering every place.

06:42 My, what a disgraceful.

06:44 Litter bug, litter bug, where's your pride?

06:47 Making a mess of the countryside.

06:49 Spoiling and soiling each lovely view.

06:51 Shame, oh shame on you.

06:54 It really makes one wonder what kind of house you keep.

06:59 On every tour the world is your personal garbage heap.

07:03 You've got less litter bug, litter bug, don't you care?

07:07 People must follow you everywhere.

07:09 Cleaning up places that you've gone to.

07:12 Litter bug, shame on you.

07:14 Litter bug, shame on you.

07:17 Litter bug, oh shame on you.

07:24 Litter bug, oh shame on you.
