When I was just a wee little boy, full of health and joy
G D E7 A
One Christmas morning I received a marvellous little toy
D A D G
A wonder to behold it was, with many colors bright
G D E7 A
And the first time I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight
D
It went zip when it moved
A
Bop when it stopped
D G
Whirrr when it stood still
G D
I never knew just what it was
A D
And I guess I never will
G D A D
D A D A
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
G D E7 A
For right on it's bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes
D A D G
I first pushed one, then the other, then I twisted it's lid
G D E7 A
And when I set it down again, this is what it did
D
It went zip when it moved
A
Bop when it stopped
D G
Whirrr when it stood still
G D
I never knew just what it was
A D
And I guess I never will
G D A D
D A D A
It first marched left, then marched right and then marched under a chair
G D E7 A
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
D A D G
I started to cry, my daddy laughed, he knew that I would find
G D E7 A
When I turned around my marvelous toy chugging from behind
D
It went zip when it moved
A
Bop when it stopped
D G
Whirrr when it stood still
G D
I never knew just what it was
A D
And I guess I never will
D A D A G D E7 A
D D D D G G A D
D A D A
The years have passed too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
G D E7 A
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy
D A D G
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head, he gave a squeal of glee
G D E7 A
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me
D
It still goes zip when it moves
A
Bop when it stops
D G
Whirrr when it stands still
G D
I never knew just what it was
A D
And I guess I never will
G D
I never knew just what it was
A D
And I guess I never will
