           C                   G                  C                   G  
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,  
           F                        C                          D            G7  
My father homeward came one day and gave to me a toy.  
          C             G                       C       C7        F  
A wonder to behold it was, with many colors bright,  
                     F                C                      D                     G7  
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.  

  
                C                                    G  
It went “Zip!â€� when it moved and “Pop!â€� when it stopped,  
               C             C7        F  
And “Whirrâ€� when it stood still.  
         F                    C                         G         G7  C  
I never knew just what it was, and I guess I never will. 
 

           C                        G               C                 G  
The first time that I picked it up, I had a big surprise,  
                 F                                 C                               D                          G7  
'Cause there on the bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes.  
       C                            G                           C          C7      F  
I first pushed one and then the other, and  then I twisted its lid,  
             F                 C               D               G7  
And when I put it down again, this is what it did:  

Chorus 
   
       C                              G                                  C                              G  
It first marched left and then marched right, and then marched under a chair  
              F                        C                      D               G7  
And when I looked where it had been, it wasn't even there.  
          C                            G                                  C         C7         F  
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed 'cause he knew that I would find  
                  F                           C                                D                   G7  
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.  

Chorus  

             C                                 G                           C                    G  
The years have gone by too quickly, it seems; I have my own little boy,  
               F             C                          D            G7  
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy.  
           C                                 G                                 C         C7        F  
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head and he gave a squeal of glee.  
               F                              C                        D                  G7  
Neither one of us knows just what it is, but he loves it just like me.  

  
                        C                                  G  
It still goes “Zip!â€� when it moves and “Pop!â€� when it stops,  
                C             C7        F  
And “Whirrâ€� when it stands still.  
         F                    C                          G        G7  C  
I never knew just what it was, and I guess I never will.
