[VERSE 1]
CWhen I was just G7a wee little lad,
Cfull of health and Fjoy,
My father homeward Ccame one night
And D7gave to me a G7toy.
CA wonder to beG7hold it was
With Cmany colors Fbright
And the moment I laid Ceyes on it,
It becaAmme my D7heart's delGight.
[Chorus]
It went ZCip when it moved
And G7Pop when it stopped,
And WChirrr when it stood stFill
I never knew just wChat it was
And I G7guess I never Cwill. G7
[VERSE 2]
CThe first time that I G7picked it up
I Chad a big surFprise
Cause right on the bottom were Ctwo big buttons
That D7looked like big green G7eyes
I Cfirst pushed one
And G7then the other,
CThen I twisted its Flid
And when I set it Cdown again,
AmHere is wD7hat it Gdid:
[Chorus]
It went ZCip when it moved
And PG7op when it stopped,
And WChirrr when it stood stFill
I never knew just wChat it was
And I G7guess I never Cwill. G7
[VERSE 3]
CIt first marched left,
And G7then marched right
And Cthen marched under a Fchair
And when I looked where Cit had gone
It D7wasn't even G7there
I sCtarted to cry,
But my G7daddy laughed
'Cause he Cknew that I would Ffind,
When I turned around
CMy marvelous Amtoy
Would be cD7hugging from Gbehind.
[Chorus]
It went ZCip when it moved
And PG7op when it stopped,
And WChirrr when it stood stFill
I never knew just wChat it was
And I G7guess I never Cwill. G7
[Verse 4]
The Cyears have gone by
Too G7quickly it seems,
I Chave my own little Fboy
And yesterday I Cgave to him
My D7marvelous little G7toy:
His Ceyes nearly popped
Right G7out of his head
And he gave a Csqueal of Fglee!
Neither one of us knows
Just Cwhat it is
But he Amloves it D7just like meG!
[Chorus]
It still goes CZip when it moves
And PG7op when it stops
And WChirrr when it stands sFtill
I still don't know just Cwhat it is
And I G7guess I never Cwill
