Chords in this song4
Verse 1
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy
A wonder to behold it was, with many colors bright
And the moment I lay eyes on it, it became my heart's delight
Chorus
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stopped and whir when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
Verse 2
The first time that I picked it up, I had a big surprise
'Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted its lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did
Chorus
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stopped and whir when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
Verse 3
It first marched left and then marched straight, then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry but my daddy laughted 'cause he knew that I would find
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging on behind
Chorus
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stopped and whir when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
Verse 4
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, now 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 and he gave a squeal of glee
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me
Chorus
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stopped and whir when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
