When I was just a wee little boy, full of health and joy.
|
One Christmas Morning I recieved a marvellous little toy
|
A wonder to behold it was with many colours 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.
|
|
now The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise.
|
For 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, well here 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 the chair
|
and when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there.
|
I started to cry my Daddy laughed he knew just what i'd find.
|
when i turned around my marvellous toy came 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.
|
|
Well The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy.
|
And yesterday I gave to him my marvellous 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.
