[INTRO - INSTRUMENTAL] [Acoustic guitar, light banjo, relaxed Australian country-folk] [VERSE 1 - FEMALE LEAD, DEEP GRAVELLY, CONVERSATIONAL] See an egg carton? I see a little doll, An empty tin can? Flower pots for all. That piece of timber's gonna be a shelf sitter, Just needs a little paint and maybe something glitter. You see a pile of junk, I see possibility, A creative mind at work - now don't you bother me! [CHORUS - FEMALE LEAD, CATCHY, RELAXED, PLAYFUL] Don't touch that, I'm making something! Don't throw that old thing away. I may not know just what it is yet, But I'll figure it out someday. You say, "You don't need it!" I say, "Oh yes, I do!" You just don't see what I can see In something old and new. Don't touch that, I'm making something - You just wait and see what I do! [VERSE 2 - FEMALE LEAD, DRY HUMOUR] I only need six inches off that great big pallet, So don't you dare put it in your rubbish pile. I know it looks enormous, but there's something in there, And I'll know what it is when I find it somewhere! There's string in that drawer and a thingy over there, I don't know what it's called - But I'll know when it's needed, I swear! [CHORUS - FEMALE LEAD, RELAXED, CATCHY] Don't touch that, I'm making something! Don't throw that old thing away. I may not know just what it is yet, But I'll figure it out someday. You say, "You don't need it!" I say, "Oh yes, I do!" You just don't see what I can see In something old and new. Don't touch that, I'm making something - You just wait and see what I do! [VERSE 3 - FEMALE LEAD, STORYTELLING, DEADPAN] I had to cleanse my stash once before, Filled up the trailer and cleared the floor. I swore I'd learned my lesson, I'd never do that again... Well, that was then and this is now, And look what's coming through the door again! There's buttons, bits and bobbles, Old jars and scraps of lace, A piece of wire, a bit of cardboard - There's always a little space. You call it hoarding, I call it planning, You call it rubbish - I call it understanding! [BRIDGE - FEMALE LEAD, CONVERSATIONAL] 'Cause you never know when you might need A piece of string or something... A bottle cap, a bit of wire, Or that mysterious thingy I was saving. I can make something out of nothing, Turn a scrap into a treasure, You just don't understand it, But making things is my pleasure! [COMEDIC SPOKEN SECTION - FEMALE VOICE, DEADPAN, ACTING OUT BOTH SIDES] "You don't need it." "Oh yes I do." "What are you going to make with it?" "I don't know yet." "Then why are you keeping it?" "Because I'll know when I see it." [FINAL CHORUS - FEMALE LEAD, WARM, CATCHY, PLAYFUL] Don't touch that, I'm making something! Put that back where it was! You say, "But what is it?" I say, "I don't know yet - because..." You say, "You don't need it!" I say, "Oh yes, I do!" I've got a creative mind at work And there's nothing I can't do! Don't touch that, I'm making something! Don't you dare throw it out! You see a pile of useless junk - I see what it's all about! [OUTRO - FEMALE VOICE, SPOKEN, COMPLETELY DEADPAN] "But you don't need that huge pallet." "I only need six inches." "But what are you going to do with the rest?" "One day you'll be glad I kept it!"
