"The Garden" is a Sesame Street song about trash, sung by Susan and Oscar. It warns that if you make a mess without cleaning it up, you will end up with a "glop, glop, grungy, glop garden where the playground used to be."
Another version of the song, as performed by a Fat Blue Anything Muppet hippie and 2 female hippies, was featured on the show in the 1970s; during the bridge, the Muppet tells Cookie Monster and Grover to stop littering.
