DWhen I was just A7a wee little Dlad, full of healA7th and joy,
GMy father homeDward came one E7night and gave to A7me a toy.
DA wonder to beA7hold it was with Dmany colors Gbright
GAnd the moment DI laid eyes on it, AIt beDcame my heart's A7delight.
Chorus
DIt went "Zip&qA7uot; when it moved and &Dquot;Pop" when it stoGpped, "Whirrr" when it stood still
GI never knew just Dwhat it was and A7I guess I never Dwill.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted its lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
Chorus
It first marched left, and then marched right and then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed 'cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
Chorus
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... Chorus
