Introduction:

                       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,
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.
