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

The [D] years have gone by [A] too quickly it seems, [D] and I have my own [A] little boy.
[G] And yesterday [D] I gave to him my [E]
marvelous little [A]
[Em] toy.
[A]
[D] His eyes nearly popped [A] right out of his head [D] and he gave a squeal [G] of glee.
Neither one of us knows [D] just what it is, [E] but it does it just [A] like me.
It still [D] goes zip when it moves [A] and bop when it stops, [D] brrrr when it [G] stands still.
I never knew [D] just what it was, [Em] that it only [F#m] cost one hundred [G] million [A] dollars [E] to build [G]
[D] it.
