A thing is a thing with a wheel and a spring

A thread you can pull and a bell you can ring.

There's a button to press with your thumb or your thigh

Three levers to push, go on, give them a try

There's a prop at the top with a switch underneath

Which releases a string and a pair of false teeth

It's got these, it's got those, and a third over there

Don't touch the fourth, it will give you a scare

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

It's got width, it's got breadth, It's got length, it's got height

It's got wings that fold out for when it's in flight

From the north to the south, to the east, to the west

A thing is a thing that can do things the best

It can do TH-I-S, this!

Or it can do TH-A-T, that!

It can be TH-I-CK, thick!

Or it can be flat

It'll have to be TH-I-N, thin!

To get it through there

But if it won't fit

You can fill it with hot air

A thing is a thing with a wheel and a spring

A thread you can pull and a bell you can ring.

There's a button to press with your thumb or your thigh

Three levers to push, go on, give them a try

There's a prop at the top with a switch underneath

Don't touch the fourth, it will give you a scare

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

It's got width, it's got breadth, It's got length, it's got height

It's got wings that fold out for when it's in flight

From the north to the south, to the east, to the west

A thing is a thing that can do things the best

A thing is a thing with a wheel and a spring

A thread you can pull and a bell you can ring

From the north to the south, to the east, to the west

A thing is a thing that can do things the best!
