The Thing - Original |
| While I was walkin' 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 |
| Oh, I discovered a… |
| Right before my eyes |
| Oh, I discovered a… |
| 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 anything |
| But this is what he hollered at me |
| As I walked in his shop |
| «Oh, get out of here with that… |
| Before I call a cop» |
| «Oh, get out of here with that… |
| Before I call a cop» |
| I turned around and got right out |
| A-runnin' for my life |
| And then 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 out of here with that… |
| And don’t come back no more» |
| «Oh, get out of here with that… |
| And don’t come back no more» |
| I wandered all around the town |
| Until I chanced to meet |
| A hobo who was lookin' 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… |
| He turned around and ran |
| Oh, when I showed him the… |
| 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 out of here with that… |
| And take it down below |
| Oh, get out of here with that… |
| 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… |
| No matter what you do |
| Oh, you’ll never get rid of the… |
| No matter what you do |
