The Marvelous Toy Lyrics
When I was just a wee little boy, full of health and joy.
One Christmas morning I received The Marvelous Little Toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight
It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped
whirrrrr 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 and 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 and bop when it stopped
whirrrrr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
It first marched left and then marched right, then marched under a chair
and when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry but my Daddy laughed 'cause he knew that I would find
when i turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind
It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped and
whirrrrr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
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
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 and bop when it stops
whirrrrr when it stands still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
When I was just a wee little boy, full of health and joy.
One Christmas morning I received The Marvelous Little Toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight
It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped
whirrrrr 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 and 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 and bop when it stopped
whirrrrr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
It first marched left and then marched right, then marched under a chair
and when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry but my Daddy laughed 'cause he knew that I would find
when i turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind
It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped and
whirrrrr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
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
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 and bop when it stops
whirrrrr when it stands still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
