The Marvelous Toy Lyrics

John Denver

1, 2, 3, 4
When I was just a wee little boy, full of health and joy One Christmas morning I received a marvellous little toy A wonder to behold it was, with many colors bright And the first trime I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight
It went zip when it moved Bop when it stopped Whirrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise For right on it's bottom were two big buttons That looked like big green eyes I first pushed one, then the other, then I twisted it's lid And when I set it down again, this is what it did
It went zip when it moved Bop when it stopped Whirrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will
It first marched left, then marched right And then marched under a chair And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there I started to cry, my daddy laughed, he knew that I would find When I turned around my marvelous toy chugging from behind
It went zip when it moved Bop when it stopped Whirrr when it stood still I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will
The years have passed too quickly it seems, 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, he gave a squeal of glee Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me
It still goes zip when it moves Bop when it stops Whirrr when it stands still I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will
