Marvellous Toy

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

        D                     A7
It went zip when it moved and pop 
when it stopped,
    D                       G
And whirrrrrr when it stood still.
                  D                
I never knew just what it was and I
 A7            D
 guess I never will.

    D                 A7          
The first time that I picked it 
    D         A7
up, I had a big surprise,
       G                        D 
'Cause right on the bottom were 
                   E               
two big buttons that looked like 
      A7
big green eyes.
  D                    A7     
I first pushed one and then the 
         D                  G
other, then I twisted its lid,
                  D           E   
And when I set it down again, here
            A7
 is what it did.

{C: chorus}


   D                      A7 
It first marched left and then 
                    D              
marched straight, then marched 
      A7
under a chair,
    G                   D         
And when I looked where it had 
     E           A7
gone it wasn't even there.
  D                     A7  
I started to cry but my daddy 
                     D             
laughted 'cause he knew that I 
    G
would find,
                        D        
When I turned around my marvelous 
              E             A7
toy would be chugging on behind.

    D                      A7     
The years have gone by too quickly
               D                   
 it seems, now I have my own little
 A7
 boy,
    G           D            
And yesterday I gave to him my 
  E                A7
marvelous little toy.
    D                        A7   
His eyes nearly popped right out 
                  D                
of his head and he gave a squeal of 
G
glee,
                             D     
Neither one of us knows just what 
            E                  A7
it is but he loves it just like me.
