Melanie Safka - Marvelous Toy INTRO: C G D G
                  D           
When I was just a little girl

G                  D
Full of health and joy

    C                 G             
One Christmas morning I received

  A7                D
A marvellous little toy

  G           D           
A wonder to behold it was

     G            C
With many colours bright

                      G                    
And the moment I laid eyes on it

     A7                D
It became my heart's delight
CHORUS:
         G                                       
It went "Zip" when it moved

 D                 
"Pop" when it stopped

 G                    C
"Whirr" when it stood still

                  G            
I never knew just what it was

      D             G     C  G  D  G
And I guess I never will

                      D           
The first time that I picked it up 

  G            D
I had a big surprise

       C                        G             
'Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons

     A7                    D
That looked like big green eyes

  G                    D           
I first pushed one and then the other

    G                 C
And then I pushed its lid

                  G                    
And when I set it down again

A7              D
This is what it did: 
CHORUS:
         G                                       
It went "Zip" when it moved

 D                 
"Pop" when it stopped

 G                    C
"Whirr" when it stood still

                  G            
I never knew just what it was

      D             G     C  G  D  G
And I guess I never will

                           D           
It first marched left, and then marched right

    G                 D
And then went under a chair

    C                   G             
And when I looked where it had gone

   A7          D
It wasn't even there

  G                  D           
I started to cry, my daddy laughed 

   G                 C
He knew that I would find

                        G                    
When I turned around my marvellous toy

  A7              D
A-chugging from behind
CHORUS:
         G  
It went "Zip" when it moved

 D                 
"Pop" when it stopped

 G                    C
"Whirr" when it stood still

                  G            
I never knew just what it was

      D             G     C  G  D  G
And I guess I never will
INSTRUMENTAL: (## same as verse ##) D G D C G A7 D G D G C G A7 G
                           D           
The years have gone by too quickly it seems

  G                  D
I have my own little boy

    C           G             
And yesterday I gave to him

   A7                D
My marvellous little toy

    G                                   D           
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head

   G                C
He gave a squeal of glee

                                 G                    
And neither one of us knows just what it is

       A7                 D
But he loves it just like me
CHORUS:
               G                                       
It still goes "Zip" when it moves

 D                 
"Pop" when it stops

 G                     C
"Whirr" when it stands still

                  G            
I never knew just what it was

      D             G   
And I guess I never will

  C               G            
I never knew just what it was

      D             G     C  G  D  G
And I guess I never will
