The Marvelous Toy
[00:00.66] ♫ ♪
[00:11.02] When I was just
[00:15.81] A wee little lad
[00:17.39] Full of health and joy
[00:19.79] My father homeward
[00:21.92] Came one night
[00:23.23] And gave to me a toy
[00:25.89] A wonder to behold it was
[00:29.08] With many colours bright
[00:31.75] And the moment
[00:32.81] I laid eyes on it
[00:34.93] It became my heart's delight
[00:37.59] It went "Zip" when it moved
[00:39.46] And "Pop" when it stopped
[00:41.05] "Whirrr" when it stood still
[00:43.45] I never knew
[00:45.31] Just what it was
[00:46.64] And I guess I never will
[00:49.57] The first time
[00:52.22] That I picked it up
[00:54.08] I had a big surprise
[00:56.75] Cause right on the bottom
[00:58.34] Were two big buttons
[00:59.94] That looked like
[01:01.26] Big green eyes
[01:02.86] I first pushed one
[01:04.45] And then the other
[01:06.05] Then I twisted its lid
[01:08.70] And when I set it down again
[01:11.89] Here is what it did
[01:14.81] It went "Zip" when it moved
[01:16.40] And "Pop" when it stopped
[01:18.00] "Whirrr" when it stood still
[01:20.66] I never knew
[01:22.26] Just what it was
[01:23.84] And I guess I never will
[01:27.30] It first marched left
[01:29.96] And then marched right
[01:31.28] Then marched
[01:32.07] Under a chair
[01:33.94] And when I looked
[01:35.28] Where it had gone
[01:36.86] It wasn't even there
[01:40.06] I started to cry
[01:41.38] But my daddy laughed
[01:42.98] 'Cause he knew
[01:43.77] That I would find
[01:45.89] When I turned around
[01:47.22] My marvelous toy
[01:48.55] Would be chugging
[01:49.62] From behind
[01:52.01] It went "Zip" when it moved
[01:53.59] And "Pop" when it stopped
[01:54.92] "Whirrr" when it stood still
[01:57.58] I never knew
[01:59.18] Just what it was
[02:00.76] And I guess I never will

[02:13.55] The years have gone by
[02:18.33] Too quickly it seems
[02:19.93] I have my own little boy
[02:23.12] And yesterday I gave to him
[02:27.09] My marvelous little toy
[02:31.87] His eyes nearly popped
[02:36.66] Right out of his head
[02:38.25] And he gave a squeal of glee
[02:40.91] Neither one of us
[02:42.23] Knows just what it is
[02:44.10] But he loves it just like me
[02:46.75] It still goes...
[02:47.72] It went "Zip" when it moved
[02:48.78] And "Pop" when it stopped
[02:50.30] "Whirrr" when it stood still
