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"
--- Instrumental
Interlude ----
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
