Phil Harris - The Thing lyrics

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 (BANG), right before my eyes

Oh, I discovered a (BANG), 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

Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, before I call a cop

Oh, get outta here with that (BANG)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 (BANG), and don't come back no more

Oh, get outta here with that (BANG), 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 hand-out on the street

He said he'd take most any old thing, he was a desperate man

But when I showed him the (BANG), he turned around and ran

Oh, when I showed him the (BANG), 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 (BANG)and take it down below

Oh, get outta here with that (BANG) 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 (BANG), no matter what you do

Oh, you'll never get rid of the (BANG), no matter what you do



(BANG!) = 3 strikes on the drum)
