Everything is looking up
 On 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'd 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 feel no pain

 Here inside my paper cup
 Everything is looking up
 On 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
 Living ain't so bad without a rudder
 Life is kind a groovy in the gutter
 If you know how, and I do
 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 looking up
 From inside my paper cup
 And I'm always looking up
 From inside my paper cup
