           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!” when it moved and “Pop!” when it stopped, C C7 F And “Whirr” 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.
