Toilet Paper Factory

Toilet Paper Factory is a Sesame Street rap about how toilet paper is made.

Lyrics
Let's take a tour of the factory.

Find out what this pulp is about to be.

In a big machine, up the belt, go by.

Got to get it very wet because it's very dry.

Got to mush it, mash it, make it into slurry. Hurry!

Can't rest when a mess is occuring.

Tidy it up. Wring it out.

Press it flat, wind it up like that.

Until the thing called a master roll.

And that's what we take home, right? No!

That one's way too big for us.

As if going to the bathroom wasn't quite complicated enough.

Don't want to add to that a toilet roll bigger than a cadillac.

That's insane. We couldn't lift it up.

If the roll ran out, would we hire a truck?

A one pound forklift just the thing to pick it up.

Now, bring it into the swing of the mechanism. Yeah!

We'll roll it now like Jennifer sweet dole it out. (?)

Yard after yard of the bath tissue.

And end up into skinny little cardboard tubes.

Uh-oh! They're naked. Better get them dressed.

Where did you expect? They'll roll too ready. (?)

And they go directly to the grocery store?

What are they still in the factory for?

Not too heavy anymore, that's true, but still too long to fit in the bathroom.

So we measure 'em out and we cut them the size.

So they look like rolls we recognise.

See round a ride with the line like these.

It's hard to believe they used to be trees.

So please just use the amount you need.

So we take another trip to the factory.
