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 right before my eyes ooh 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 any thing but this is what he hollered at me as i walked in his shop ooh get outta here with that before i call a cop ooh get outta here with that 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 and don t come back no more oh get outta 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 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 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 outta here with that and take it down below oh get outta 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
