Styrofoam - Ashley McBryde

In 1941, a physicist named Ray McEntire

Rediscovered a method first discovered by Carl Munters

An inventor from Sweden, you knew that, right?

Yeah, I looked it up

Anyway, ol' Ray found a way to make large quantities

Of extrudent polystyrene in a closed-cell foam form

That was resistant to moisture

But you and I know it as styrofoam

Which reminds me, tonight, on my way home

I need to hit the Kwik Sak

And for five bucks, I got myself a portable box

I can fill with ice and keep all my Natty Lights

Nice and cold

You gotta love styrofoam

You can cram it down in your flower pots

Get it in peanut form and fill up a box

So that the crappy ash tray that your kid made in class

To send to Grandpappy don’t get cracked along the way

Hey, it’s also used to make rafts for the US Military

I’m for anything that supports the US Military

Thousands of usages, all kinds of stuff

And that includes forty-four ounce cups

Styrofoam

I fill it half way up with Diet Coke

And top it off with brown liquor

Now, I’ll walk down Main Street and catch me a bus

Right up underneath the nose of the fuzz 'cause of

Styrofoam

You gotta love styrofoam

I know I do

Some folks say, «Hey, what about Mother Nature?

It decomposes so slow»

I’m no scientist, all I know is this

Beer I’m drinkin' is so cold

Thanks to

Styrofoam

So thank you, Ray McEntire

Thank you, Carl Munters

And thanks, Steve (Steve)
