I saw some guy on the docks
Lookin' for something he lost
Which made me think of you
When I took your WHATCHA CALL ITS NAME
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 close's where they stay
All right!
Am ong 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 bag 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 cuckoo 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 WHATCHA CALL ITS NAME...
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
