The Marvelous Toy

When I was just a wee little boy full of health and joy.
One year for Christmas, I received a 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, bop when it stops and whirr when it stood still.
I never knew just what it was and I guess it never will.
From the moment that I picked it up, I had a big surprise.
For right on its bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes.
I first pushed one, then the other and then I twisted its lid.
When I set it down again, here's what it did:
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stops and whirr when it stood still.
I never knew just what it was and I guess it never will.
It first marched left, then marched right, then marched under a chair.
But when I looked where it had gone, it wasn't even there.
I began to cry, my father laughed 'cause he knew that I would find.
When I turned around, the marvelous toy was chugging from behind.
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stops and whirr when it stood still.
I never knew just what it was and I guess it never will.
The years have gone by quickly it seems, I have my own little boy.
Yesterday, I gave to him my marvelous little toy.
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head, he gave a squeal of glee.
We do not know just what it is but he loves it just like me.
It goes zip when it moves, bop when it stops, and whirr when it stands still.
We do not know just what it is and I guess we never will.
It goes zip when it moves, bop when it stops, and whirr when it stands still.
We do not know just what it is and I guess we never will.
It goes zip when it moves, bop when it stops, and whirr when it stands still.
We do not know just what it is and I guess we never will.
