Gugù bambino dell'età della pietra
Un dì nell'età della pietra
Quel tempo lontano che fu
In una caverna viveva
Un bambino di nome Gugù
Studiava su un libro di pietra
La carta non c'era, si sa
Quel libro ragazzi pesava
Forse più di un quintale Chissà
E quando a scuola il suo libro portava
Come pesava, come pesava
Con quella pietra Gugù camminava
Come sudava, come sudava
Ogni sei passi così si fermava
Si riposava, si riposava
E quando a scuola in ritardo arrivava
Quattro in condotta il maestro gli dava
Sul grosso quaderno di pietra
Scriveva ogni giorno Gugù
Battendo il martello incideva
ABC = FG = HU
Battendo scintille faceva
Ma un giorno il quaderno cascò
Che botta ragazzi, che botta!
Per sei giorni Gugù zoppicò
E quando a scuola il suo libro portava
Come pesava, come pesava
Con quella pietra Gugù camminava
Come sudava, come sudava
Ogni sei passi così si fermava
Si riposava, si riposava
E quando a scuola in ritardo arrivava
Quattro in condotta il maestro gli dava
E noi bambini che ci lamentiamo
Quando alla scuola I libri portiamo
Se son pesanti allora pensiamo
Al grosso libro che aveva Gugù
Al grosso libro che aveva Gugù
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.
