The Marvelous Toy - Various Artists

When I was jsut a wee little lad

Full of health and joy

My father homeward came one night

And gave to me a toy

A wonder to behold it was

Many colors bright

And the moment I laid eyes on it

It became my heart's delight

It went zip when it moved

Bop when it stopped

Whin 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 its bottom

Were two big buttons

That looked like big green eyes

I first pushed one and then the other

And then I twisted its lid

And when I set it down again

Here is what it did

It went zip when it moved

Bop when it stopped

Whin when it stood still

I never knew just what it was

And I guess I never will

Well The years have gone

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

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 moved

Bop when it stopped

Whin when it stood still

I never knew just what it was

And I guess I never will
