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 heart's delight. Refrain: It went zip when it moved and pop when it stopped, Whirrr 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 Cause right on the 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, here is what it did:(refrain) It first marched left, and then marched right And 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.(refrain) 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... (refrain)
