The Marvelous Toy |
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. |
It went «zip"when it moved and «bop"when it stopped, |
And «whirr"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 its bottom were two big buttons that, |
Looked like big green eyes. |
I first pushed one and then the other, and then I twisted its lid, |
And when I set it down again, this is what it did: |
It first marched left and then marched right, |
And then marched under a chair. |
And when l looked where it had gone, it wasn’t even there. |
I started to sob and my daddy laughed, for he knew that I would find, |
When l turned around, my marvelous toy, chugging from behind. |
Well, 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, «bop"when it stops, |
And «whirr"when it stands still. |
I never knew just what it was, |
And I guess I never will. |
I never knew just what it was, |
And I guess I never will. |
