《The Marvelous Toy(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:01] It went "zip" when it moved

[00:00:02] And "bop" when it stopped

[00:00:04] And "whirr" when it stood still

[00:00:06] I never knew just what it was

[00:00:09] And I guess I never will

[00:00:11] When I was just a wee little lad full of health and joy

[00:00:16] My father homeward came one night

[00:00:19] And gave to me a toy

[00:00:21] A wonder to behold it was

[00:00:23] With many colors bright

[00:00:26] And the moment I laid eyes on it it

[00:00:29] Became my heart's delight

[00:00:31] It went "zip" when it moved

[00:00:33] And "bop" when it stopped

[00:00:34] And "whirr" when it stood still

[00:00:37] I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will

[00:00:42] The first time that I picked it up

[00:00:45] I had a big surprise

[00:00:47] For right on its bottom were two big buttons that

[00:00:50] Looked like big green eyes

[00:00:52] I first pushed one and then the other

[00:00:55] And then I twisted its lid

[00:00:57] And when I set it down again this is what it did:

[00:01:02] It went "zip" when it moved and "bop" when it stopped

[00:01:05] And "whirr" when it stood still

[00:01:07] I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will

[00:01:13] It first marched left and then marched right

[00:01:16] And then marched under a chair

[00:01:18] And when l looked where it had gone

[00:01:21] It wasn't even there

[00:01:23] I started to sob and my daddy laughed

[00:01:26] For he knew that I would find

[00:01:28] When l turned around my marvelous toy

[00:01:31] Chugging from behind

[00:01:33] It went "zip" when it moved

[00:01:35] And "bop" when it stopped

[00:01:37] And "whirr" when it stood still

[00:01:39] I never knew just what it was

[00:01:41] And I guess I never will

[00:01:44] Well the years have gone by too quickly it seems

[00:01:47] I have my own little boy

[00:01:50] And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy

[00:01:55] His eyes nearly popped right out of his head

[00:01:58] And he gave a squeal of glee

[00:02:00] Neither one of us knows just what it is

[00:02:03] But he loves it just like me

[00:02:05] It still goes "zip" when it moves "bop" when it stops

[00:02:08] And "whirr" when it stands still

[00:02:11] I never knew just what it was

[00:02:14] And I guess I never will
