[Verse 1]
Canadian coins and a birthday candle
An Allen wrench and a suitcase handle
Fourteen pens that don't work
A new notecard and a button from a shirt
An old antenna, rubber band, and a knob from an unknown door

[Chorus]
In the junk drawer
They're in the kitchen junk drawer
You know I'm a'wishin' I knew where all of this a'came from
Or what we need it for
Pictures of children we don't know
Coupons to places we don't go
And collars from old pets
That ain't alive no more
In the junk drawer

[Verse 2]
Twisty ties and ketchup packets
A broken string from a tennis racket
Outlet covers, batteries
And ticket stubs from Chuck E. Cheese
An old cordless phone
And an old phoneless cord
[Chorus]
In the junk drawer
They're in the kitchen junk drawer
You know I'm a'wishin' I knew where all of this a'came from
Or what we need it for
Keys to a car we sold last year
A red beer koozie and we don't drink beer
And a friendship bracelet from somebody
I don't like no more
In the junk drawer

[Bridge]
G.I. Joes and Barbie parts
Milk jug rings and Nerf gun darts
A garage door opener remote control
I hope that's a melted Tootsie Roll
An airplane made of balsa wood
"Don't throw it out! It's still good!"
But I'd like to throw it all in the fire
And then we could make s'mores

[Chorus]
From the junk drawer
They're in the kitchen junk drawer
You know I'm a'wishin
Well, there's a gameboy memory card from 1994
Post-It notes, an AC adapter
Super glue and Grandma's clapper
An empty roll of duct tape
And a rotten apple core
In the junk drawer
In the junk drawer
