Gugù bambino dell'età della pietra
Zecchino D'oro
Gugù, Stone Age Kid
One day in the Stone Age
That distant time that was
In a cave there lived
A kid named Gugù
He studied from a stone book
Paper didn’t exist, you know
That book, kids, was heavy
Maybe more than a hundred pounds, who knows
And when he brought his book to school
Man, it was heavy, man, it was heavy
With that stone, Gugù walked
Man, he was sweating, man, he was sweating
Every six steps, he’d stop like that
He’d take a break, he’d take a break
And when he showed up late to school
The teacher gave him a four for behavior
On the big stone notebook
Gugù wrote every day
Hammering away, he carved
ABC = FG = HU
Sparks flew when he hit it
But one day the notebook fell
What a bang, kids, what a bang!
For six days, Gugù limped around
And when he brought his book to school
Man, it was heavy, man, it was heavy
With that stone, Gugù walked
Man, he was sweating, man, he was sweating
Every six steps, he’d stop like that
He’d take a break, he’d take a break
And when he showed up late to school
The teacher gave him a four for behavior
And us kids who complain
When we carry our books to school
If they’re heavy, we should think
About the big book that Gugù had
About the big book that Gugù had.
