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 (Boom-ba-boom), right before my eyes Oh, I discovered a (Boom-ba-boom), 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 (Boom-ba-boom), before I call a cop" "Oh, get out of here with that (Boom-ba-boom), 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 (Boom-ba-boom), and don't come back no more" "Oh, get out of here with that (Boom-ba-boom), and don't come back no more" 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 (Boom-ba-boom), he turned around and ran Oh, when I showed him the (Boom-ba-boom), 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 (Boom-ba-boom), and take it down below Oh, get out of here with that (Boom-ba-boom), 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 (Boom-ba-boom), no matter what you do Oh you'll never get rid of the (Boom-ba-boom), no matter what you do
