The Thing

As 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,
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 know 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!"
[Repeat]

 

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." [Repeat]

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 -, -, -, he turned a-round and ran.[Repeat]

I wandered on for many years, a victim of my fate,
Until one day I came upon Saint 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 be-low!"
[Repeat]

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! [Repeat]
