Marvelous Toy

John Denver - The Marvelous Toy From the album: Christmas Like a Lullaby (1990) Comment for any corrections and please rate Intro: When I was just a wee little boy, full of health and joy One Christmas morning I received a marvellous little toy A wonder to behold it was, with many colors bright And the first time I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight It went zip when it moved Bop when it stopped Whirrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise For right on it's bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes I first pushed one, then the other, then I twisted it's lid And when I set it down again, this is what it did It went zip when it moved Bop when it stopped Whirrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will It first marched left, then marched right and then marched under a chair And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there I started to cry, my daddy laughed, he knew that I would find When I turned around my marvelous toy chugging from behind It went zip when it moved Bop when it stopped Whirrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will The years have passed too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy His eyes nearly popped right out of his head, he gave a squeal of glee Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me It still goes zip when it moves Bop when it stops Whirrr when it stands still I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will
