Litterbug, litterbug, where’s your pride?
Making a mess of the countryside
Spoiling and soiling each lovely view
Shame, oh, shame on you

How true is this excerpt from Disney’s 1961 song, The Litterbug Song?

The unseasonably warm weather has melted the snow exposing debris along our roadways.  This debris can easily get caught in drainage systems, affecting the flow of stormwater. Let’s help keep ditches, waterways, culverts and low-lying areas clear to ensure proper stormwater drainage. 

Anyone wanting to get a headstart on “spring cleanup” can pick up orange collection bags and safety vests at Village Hall by emailing Village@vbhil.gov to schedule a pickup time.  

THE LITTERBUG SONG 
Disney’s 1961 animated short, “The Litterbug” 

Just look at the world full of beauty and art
What man has created with hand and with heart
His glittering cities saw up to the skies
His homes and his gardens, a sight for sore eyes

His playgrounds and beaches, his freeways and parks
What wonders of beauty! What genius! What spark!
Then, why does he go and has to mess it all up?
You ask me who’s to blame?
You want to know his name?
He’s a most obnoxious lug
I call him “litterbug”!

Litterbug, litterbug, shame on you
Look at the terrible things you do
Littering, cluttering every place
My, but it’s disgraceful

Litterbug, litterbug, where’s your pride?
Making a mess of the countryside
Spoiling and soiling each lovely view
Shame, oh, shame on you

It really makes one wonder
What kind of house you keep
On every tour, the world is your
Personal garbage heap

You thoughtless litterbug, litterbug, don’t you care?
People must follow you everywhere
Cleaning up places that you’ve gone through
Litterbug, shame on you
