Текст песни The Thing - Kidsongs

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
Fred, the town policeman, who was walking on his beat
He wasn't scared of anything, he was a big brave 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 with my box in hand
I tried to give it away to anyone in the land
They'd open the lid and take a look and this is when they'd say
"Get out of here with that... And take it far away!"
Oh, get out of here with that... And take it far away!

The moral of the 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!

Oh, you'll never get rid of the... No matter what you do!
