Here inside my paper cup   Everything is lookin' up   No one comes in, no one goes out   Nothin' to get hung up about      I'm free and it's so easy to get by   'Cause I don't try      In my paper cup, I have installed   A shower stall across the hall   Running water and a den   It's looking just like home again      I'm free and I've installed refrigerated air   You'd have to look inside   Before you know that I was there      And everybody says I'm quite insane   And someday I'll be going down the drain   I know they're right but I don't care   I feel no pain      Here inside my paper cup   Everything is lookin' up   No one goes out, no one comes in   It's lookin' just like home again      I'm free and it's so easy to get   The things I've always wanted   'Cause I don't really want 'em anymore      An' living ain't so bad without a rudder   An' life is kinda groovy in the gutter   If you know how, and I do   Yeah, and I do, we do too      So if you'd like to come along   We'll sing a little paper song   About a lonely paper plate   Who couldn't find a paper mate      I'm free, yes I'm free      And my life is lookin' up   From inside my paper cup   And I'm always lookin' up   From inside my paper cup      And my life is lookin' up   From inside my paper cup   And I'm always lookin' up   From inside my paper cup
