Marvelous Toy Lyrics by Fred Penner

Special Delivery

0

When I was just a wee little boy, full of health and joy
One Christmas morning I received the marvelous little toy
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the first time I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stopped
Whirr, 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 big buttons that looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one, then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, this is what it did
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stopped
Whirr, when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess, I never will
It first marched left and 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 zip when it moved, bop when it stopped
Whirr, when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess, I never will
The years have passed, too quickly it seems as 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 zip when it moved, bop when it stopped
Whirr when it stand 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
