THE THING By Arthur Godfrey
As I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day I saw a great big box a-floatin' in the bay. I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise Oh, I discovered a (boom-boom-boom) right before me eyes. Oh, I discovered a (boom-boom-boom) right before me eyes.
Well, I picked it up and I ran to town, as happy as a king. I took it to a guy I knew who'd buy most anything. But this is what he hollered at me as I walked into his shop: "Get outta here with that (boom-boom-boom) before I call the cop!" "Get outta here with that (boom-boom-boom) before I call the cop!"
I turned around and got right out, a runnin' for me life. I thought I'd take it home with me and give it to me wife. But this is that she hollered at me as I walked through the door: "Get outta here with that (boom-boom-boom) and don't come back no more!" "Get outta here with that (boom-boom-boom) and don't come back no more!"
So the moral of this story is: If you're out on the beach And you should spy a wooden box, and it's within your reach Don't ever stop to open it up, that's my advice to you Oh 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.^^^
