While I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day |
|
I saw a great big wooden box a-floatin' in the bay |
|
I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise |
|
Ooh, I discovered a |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
right before my eyes |
|
Ooh, I discovered a |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
right before my eyes |
|
I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king |
|
I took it to a guy I knew who'd buy most any thing |
|
But this is what he hollered at me as I walked in his shop |
|
Ooh, get outta here with that |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
before I call a cop |
|
Ooh, get outta here with that |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
before I call a cop |
|
I turned around and got right out, a-runnin' for my life |
|
And than I took it home with me to give it to my wife |
|
But this is what she hollered at me as I walked in the door |
|
Oh, get outta here with that |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
and don't come back no more |
|
Oh, get outta here with that |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
and don't come back no more |
|
I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet |
|
A hobo who was looking for a handout on the street |
|
He said he'd take most any old thing, he was a desperate man |
|
But when I showed him the |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
, he turned around and ran |
|
Oh, when I showed him the |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
, he turned around and ran |
|
I wandered on for many years, a victim of my fate |
|
Until one day I came upon St. Peter at the gate |
|
And when I tried to take it inside, he told me where to go |
|
Get outta here with that |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
and take it down below |
|
Oh, get outta here with that |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
and take it down below |
|
The moral of this story is if you're out on the beach |
|
And you should see a great big box and it's within your reach |
|
Don't ever stop and open it up, that's my advice to you |
|
'Cause you'll never get rid of the |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
, no matter what you do |
|
Oh, you'll never get rid of the |
|
(*boom-boom-boom*) |
|
, no matter what you do |
|
(*boom-boom-boom* |
