Once upon a time there was a little boy, who played a ukulele
He'd go around town clink, clunk, CLONK!

The grown-ups would say: Take that thing out of here!
Not only that. The boy's father would get in trouble, too
His father was a magician and he had a magic wand. He could go Zooop!
With it, and make things disappear

But he played too many tricks on people
He'd come up to someone just about to drink a nice glass of something
Zoop! The glass would disappear

He'd come up to someone doing some work—maybe sawing off a log of
Wood: zzt, zzt, zzt. Up comes the father with his magic wand: Zoop! And
The saw would disappear

He would come up to someone just about to sit down after a hard day's
Work, and zoop! No chair
People got tired of this. They said to the father:
Hey you get out of here too. Take your magic wand and your practical
Jokes and you and your son, just git!"
They ostracized them. That means, they
Made 'em live on the edge of town
Now, in this town, they used to tell stories
The old people used to tell stories about the giants that lived in the old
Days!
