The Marvelous Toy

D               A7           D  
When I was just a wee little 
              A7
lad, full of health and joy,
G             D             E7  
My father homeward came one 
              A7
night and gave to me a toy.
D             A7               D
A wonder to behold it was with 
           G
many colors bright
G              D                  
And the moment I laid eyes on it, 
A    D               A7
It became my heart's delight.

(chorus)
D                  A7        
It went "Zip" when it moved and 
              D                    
"Pop" when it stopped, "Whirrr" 
     G
when it stood still

G                 D               
I never knew just what it was and 
A7              D
I guess I never will.

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)
