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 [C] and much to my [G] surprise, ooh, I discovered [A] a
right [G] before my eyes.
[A] I [G] picked it up and [C] ran to town as happy [G] 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 [Dbm] I walked in his shop, ooh, get outta here with that!
[D] Before I [Eb] call a cop, ooh, get outta here with that!
[A] Before [G] I call a cop!
I turned around and got right [C] outta runnin' [G] for my life.
I took it home with [D] me to give it to my wife.
[G] But this is what she hollered at me as [Am] I walked in the door, [G] ooh, get outta here with that!

But when I showed him the
[Bb] he turned [Abm] around and ran.
Ooh, when I showed him the
he turned around [E] and ran.
[A] I wandered on for many years, a victim of my fate, until one day I came upon St.
Peter at [E] the gate.
[A] And when I tried to take it [G] inside, he told me [Em] where to go.
Get outta here [Abm] with that!
And [A] take it down below!
Ooh, get outta here with that!
And take it down below!
The moral of the story is [D] if you're out [A] on the beach, you should [E] see a [Gbm] great big box and [Db] it's within [E] your reach.
[Db] Don't ever stop and [Dm] open it up.
That's my advice [E] to you.
Cause [A] you'll never get rid of the
[B] no matter [A] what you do.
Oh, you'll never [E] get rid of the
no matter what [A] you do.
