CAPO: 2nd Fret 


Intro: C  G  D  G 

                  D            
When I was just a little girl 
G                  D 
Full of health and joy 
    C                 G              
One Christmas morning I received 
  A7                D 
A marvellous little toy 
  G           D            
A wonder to behold it was 
     G            C 
With many colours bright 
                      G                     
And the moment I laid eyes on it 
     A7                D 
It became my heart's delight 


Chorus: 
         G                                        
It went "Zip" when it moved 
 D                  
"Pop" when it stopped 
 G                    C 
"Whirr" when it stood still 
                  G             
I never knew just what it was 
      D             G     C  G  D  G 
And I guess I never will 


                      D            
The first time that I picked it up  
  G            D 
I had a big surprise 
       C                        G              
'Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons 
     A7                    D 
That looked like big green eyes 
  G                    D            
I first pushed one and then the other 
    G                 C 
And then I pushed its lid 
                  G                     
And when I set it down again 
A7              D 
This is what it did:

         G                                        
It went "Zip" when it moved 
 D                  
"Pop" when it stopped 
 G                    C 
"Whirr" when it stood still 
                  G             
I never knew just what it was 
      D             G     C  G  D  G 
And I guess I never will 


                           D            
It first marched left, and then marched right 
    G                 D 
And then went under a chair 
    C                   G              
And when I looked where it had gone 
   A7          D 
It wasn't even there 
  G                  D            
I started to cry, my daddy laughed  
   G                 C 
He knew that I would find 
                        G                     
When I turned around my marvellous toy 
  A7              D 
A-chugging from behind

         G   
It went "Zip" when it moved 
 D                  
"Pop" when it stopped 
 G                    C 
"Whirr" when it stood still 
                  G             
I never knew just what it was 
      D             G     C  G  D  G 
And I guess I never will

                           D            
The years have gone by too quickly it seems 
  G                  D 
I have my own little boy 
    C           G              
And yesterday I gave to him 
   A7                D 
My marvellous little toy 
    G                                   D            
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head 
   G                C 
He gave a squeal of glee 
                                 G                     
And neither one of us knows just what it is 
       A7                 D 
But he loves it just like me

               G                                        
It still goes "Zip" when it moves 
 D                  
"Pop" when it stops 
 G                     C 
"Whirr" when it stands still 
                  G             
I never knew just what it was 
      D             G    
And I guess I never will 
  C               G             
I never knew just what it was 
      D             G     C  G  D  G 
And I guess I never will
