I saw some guy on the docks Lookin' for something he lost Which made me think of you When I took your WhatchaCallItsName I never gave it back What if I give it back today? It's awkward to admit I never asked to borrow it So I didn't say a thing When you thought you dropped it in the lake I meant to give it back I guess it slipped my mind until today When I was growing up I liked collecting stuff I think I'm past that now But I still can't throw a thing away In plastic boxes Under beds And backs of closets's Where they stay All right! Among these many bins Not sure which one it's in It's gonna take a while But this has got to be the way So I'm gonna find it now So I can give it back today And this is how it went! I found my rubber ducks I found my tonka trucks I found my bags of rocks I found my wind-up bots I found my lincoln logs I found my jumping frogs I found my novel socks I found my cockoo clocks I found my resin bugs I found my landmark mugs I found my lanyards I even found those credit cards I found most everything, but I couldn't find your WhatchaCallItsName I'll find it, somehow That's when I'll call you up And it will all be just the same I know we'll meet again We'll meet again, but not today
