THROW IT AWAY
(Tony King / Dave Most)


The Family Dogg - 1969





(SPOKEN: Oh, good God Almighty, this is what is comin' to call....decide...listen...)

Watcha gonna do about the broken-down piana
If you ain't got a use for it, throw it away
What about the rockin' chair that clutters up the corner
If you ain't got a use for it, throw it away

And where you gonna put that baby doll you used to play with
If you ain't got a use for it, throw it away
An' Granny's photo album that is dirty, torn and pitted
If you ain't got a use for it, throw it away

'Cause it's no good anymore
Because you can't get in through the door
You gotta use your head, you better do what I said
If you ain't got a use for it, throw it away

And what you gonna do about the ???? I used to hand ya
If you ain't got a use for it, throw it away
If you'd only make your mind up, maybe I would understand ya
If you ain't got a use for it, throw it away

And it's no good playin' for time
Because you're only gonna mess up my mind
You gotta use your head, you better do what I said
If you ain't got a use for it, throw it away

If you ain't got a use for it, throw it away
Aaaah, haven't got a use for it, throw it away
Listen, girl, been so lately ??????, I'm a-throwin' it away
I ain't gonna sing any more of this song
Yeah, I told ya, it's a B side (ad-libs to FADE)
