ray charles - the thing lyrics

[verse]
while i was walking down 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
i discovered a,right before my eyes
i tell you all, 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
“ooh, get out of here with that before i call a cop!
son, get out of here with that before i call a cop!
i turned around and got right out, a-running for my life
and then i took it home with me to give it to my wife
and this is what she said at me as i walked in the door
“ooh, get out of here with that and don’t come back no more!
please, get out of here with that 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 he turned around and ran
you know, when i showed him the he turned around and ran
i wandered on for many year, a victim of my fate
until one day i came upon saint 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!
ray, 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
because you’ll never get rid of the, no matter what you do
i tell you, you’ll never get rid of the, no matter what you do
