[F] [Bb]
When I was [F] just a wee little [Bb] lad, full of [F] health and joy,
[Eb] My father [Bb] homeward came one [C] night and gave to [F] me a toy.
[Bb] A wonder [F] to behold it [Bb] was, with many [Eb] colors bright,
And the moment I [Bb] laid eyes on it, [C] it became my [F] heart's delight.
It [Bb] went zip when it [F] moved, bop when it stopped,
[Bb] Whirr when it [Eb] stood still.
I never knew [Bb] just what it [F] was, and I guess I [Bb] never will.
The first time that [F] I picked it up, [Bb] I had a big [F] surprise,
[Eb] For right on its bottom [Bb] were two big buttons, [C] that looked like big [F] green eyes.
[Bb] I first [Fm] pushed one, then [Bb] the other, then I twisted [Eb] its lid
And when I set it [Bb] down again, [C] here is what it [F] did
It [Bb] went zip when it moved, [F] bop when it stopped, [Bb] whirr when it [Eb] stood still
I never knew [Bb] just what it was, [F] and I guess I never [Bb] will
It first marched left, [F] then marched right, [Bb] then marched under [F] a chair
[Eb] And when I looked [Bb] where it had gone, [C] it wasn't even [F] there
[Bb] I started to cry, [F] my daddy laughed, [Bb] for he knew that I [Eb] would find
When I turned around, [Bb] my marvelous toy, [C] a chugging from [G] behind
It [Bb] went zip when it [F] moved, bop when it stopped, [Bb] whirr when it [Eb] stood still
I never knew [Bb] just what it [F] was, and I guess I [Bb] never will
Now the years have gone by [F] too quickly it [Bb] seems, I have my [F] own little boy
[Eb] And yesterday [Bb] I gave to [C] him my marvelous [F] little toy
[Bb] His eyes merely [F] popped right out of his [Bb] head, he gave a [Eb] squeal of glee
Neither one of us knows [Bb] just what it is, [C] but he loves it just [F] like me
It still [Bb] goes zip when it [F] moves, bop when it [Bb] stops, whirr when it [Eb] stands still
I never knew [Bb] just what it [F] was, and I guess I [Bb] never will
[Eb] I never [Bb] knew just what it was, [F] and I guess I [Bb] never will
