[D] When I was just [A] a wee little [D] lad, full of [A] health and joy,
[G]
My father [D] homeward came one night, [E] and gave to me [A] a toy.
[D]
Oh, wonder to [A] behold it was, [D] with many [G] colors bright,
And the moment I [D] laid eyes on it, [E] it became my heart's [A] delight.
It [D] went zip, when it moved, [A] and bop, when it stopped,
[D] And whirr, [G] when it stood still.
I never knew [D] just what it was,
[A] And I guess I never [D] will.
The first time that [A] I picked it up, [D] I had a big [A] surprise,
[G] Cause right on the bottom [D] were two big buttons, [E] that looked like big [A] green eyes.
[D] I first pushed [A] one, and then the other, [D] then I [G] twisted its lid,
And when I set [D] it down again, [E] here is what [A] it did.
It [D] went zip, when it [A] moved, and bop, when it [D] stopped,
And whirr, when it [G] stood still.
I never knew [D] just what it [A] was,
And I guess I [D] never will.
It first marched [A] left, and then it [D] striked, then [A] marched under a chair,
[G] And when I looked [D] where it had [E] gone, it wasn't [A] there.
[D] I started to [A] cry, but my daddy laughed, [D] cause he knew that I [G] would find,
When I turned around, [D] my marvelous toy [E] would be chugging [A] from behind.
[D] It went zip, when it [A] moved, and bop, when it [D] stopped,
And whirr, when it [G] stood still.
I never knew [D] just what it [A] was,
And I guess I never [D]
[G] will.

The years have gone by [A] too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
[G]
And yesterday [D] I gave to him [E] my marvelous little [A]
toy.
His [D] eyes nearly popped [A] right out of his head [D] and he gave a [G] squeal of glee.
Neither one of us knows [D] just what it is, [E] but he loves it just [A] like me.
It still [D] goes zip when [A] it moves and pop when it stops [D] and oooorrrr when it [G] stands still.
I [N] never knew just what it is.
