As I was walking on the beach one bright and sunny day,
I saw a great big wooden box a floating in the bay.  
I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise.  .  .  .


Oh! I discovered a (boom boom 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 hollerd at me as I walked in his shop,
"Oh! Get out of here with that (boom boom boom) before I call the
 cop!"
I turned around and got right out a running for my life.  
And then I thought I'd take it home and give it to my wife.  
But this is what she hollered at me as I walked through the door,
"Oh! Get out of here with that (boom boom boom) 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 (boom boom boom) he turned around and
ran!
I wandered on for many years a victim of my fate
Until at last I came across St.   Peter at the gate.  
But as I tried to take it inside He told me where to go,
"Get out of here with that (boom boom 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,
For you'll never get rid of the (boom boom boom)
No matter what you do!
