Peter, Paul and Mary – The Marvelous Toy (Guitar)

G                 D7              G                  D7
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,

   C               G                  A7           D7
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.

  G           D7               G           C
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright

C                     G                A7                D7
And the moment I laid eyes on it, It became my heart's delight.

        G                        D7                     G                     C
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped, "Whirrr" when it stood still

   C               G                 D7            G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.

     G                 D7          G                 D7
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise

       C                        G                    A7                   D7
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes

   G                    D7               G                 C
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted its lid

     C              G          A7              D7
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:

         G                        D7                     G                     C
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped, "Whirrr" when it stood still

   C               G                 D7            G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.

    G                       D7                     G                    D7
It first marched left, and then marched right and then marched under a chair

      C                 G                A7          D7
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there

    G                     D7                      G                 C
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed 'cause he knew that I would find,

         C               G                      A7              D7
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.

        G                        D7                     G                     C
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped, "Whirrr" when it stood still

   C               G                 D7            G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.

     G                      D7               G                    D7
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy

     C           G              A7              D7
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:

     G                       D7                      G                 C
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head and he gave a squeal of glee!

         C                    G                 A7                D7
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!

               G                        D7                     G                     C
It still goes "Zip" when it moves and "Pop" when it stops, "Whirrr" when it stands still

   C               G                 D7            G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
