The Marvelous Toy Lyrics

When I was just 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

With many colors bright

And the moment I laid eyes on it

It became my hearts delight

[CHORUS]

It went zip when it moved

Bop when it stopped

Whirr 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

Here is what it did

[Repeat CHORUS]

It first marched left

Then marched right

Then marched under a chairChad Mitchell Trio - The Marvelous Toy - http://motolyrics.com/chad-mitchell-trio/the-marvelous-toy-lyrics.html

And when I looked where it had gone

It wasn't even there

I started to cry and my daddy laughed

For he knew that I would find

When I turned around

My marvelous toy

Chugging from behind

[Repeat CHORUS]

Well, the years have gone by

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

And bop when it stops

And whirr 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
