Marvelous Toy

When I was just a wee little boy. Full of health and joy. One Christmas morning I received A marvelous little toy. A wonder to be hold it was Many colours bright. And the moment I layed eyes on it It became my heart's delight. It went "zzzip" when it moved, "Bopp" when it stopped, "Brrr" when it stood still. I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will. The first time that I picked it up. I had a big surprise. For right on it's bottom Were two green buttons That looked like big green eyes. I first pushed one. And then the other. And then I pushed on its lid. And when I set it down again This is what it did. It went "zzzip" when it moved, "Bopp" when it stopped, "Brrr" when it stood still. I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will. It first marched left. 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. My daddy laughed. He knew that I would find. When I turned around my marvelous toy Chugging from behind. It went "zzzip" when it moved, "Bopp" when it stopped, "Brrr" when it stood still. I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will. Well, the years have pa*sed 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. He gave the squeal of glee Neither one of us knows just what it is, But he loves it just like me. It still goes "zzzip" when it moves, "Bopp" when it stoppes, "Brrr" when it stands still. I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will. I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will.
