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
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
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
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
