     D             A               D                  A
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
