Marvelous Toy

(Intro) (verse 1) When I was just a wee little lad full of health and joy My Daddy homeward came one night and gave to me a toy A wonder to be hold it was with many colours bright And the moment I laid eyes on it it became my heart's delight And it went zip when it moved bop when it stopped Whirrrrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will (verse 2) The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise For right on its bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes I first pushed one and then the other then I twisted it's lid And when I set it down again well here is what it did And it went zip when it moved bop when it stopped Whirrrrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will (verse 3) It first marched left and then marched right then marched under the chair And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there I started to cry my Daddy laughed he knew just what I'd find When I turned around my marvelous toy came chugging from behind And it went zip when it moved bop when it stopped Whirrrrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will (verse 4) Years have gone by too quickly it seems now 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 and 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 Whirrrrr when it stands still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
