John Denver - The Marvelous Toy lyrics
When I was just a wee little boy.
 Full of health and joy.
 One Christmas morning I received
 A marvelous little toy.
 A wonder to be hold it was
 Many colours bright.
 And the moment I layed eyes on it
 It became my heart's delight.
 It went "zzzip" when it moved,
 "Bopp" when it stopped,
 "Brrr" 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 green buttons
 That looked like big green eyes.
 I first pushed one.
 And then the other.
 And then I pushed on its lid.
 And when I set it down again
 This is what it did.
 It went "zzzip" when it moved,
 "Bopp" when it stopped,
 "Brrr" when it stood still.
 I never knew just what it was
 And I guess I never will.
 It first marched left.
 Then marched rightJohn Denver - The Marvelous Toy - http://motolyrics.com/john-denver/the-marvelous-toy-lyrics.html
 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 "zzzip" when it moved,
 "Bopp" when it stopped,
 "Brrr" when it stood still.
 I never knew just what it was
 And I guess I never will.
 Well, 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 the squeal of glee
 Neither one of us knows just what it is,
 But he loves it just like me.
 It still goes "zzzip" when it moves,
 "Bopp" when it stoppes,
 "Brrr" 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.
