The Marvelous Toy (LP Version)
作词 : Tom Paxton
作曲 : Tom Paxton
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 laid eyes on it,
It became my heart's delight.
It went "Zip" when it moved
And "Bop" when it stopped,
And "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
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 it's lid
And when I set it down again
Here is what it did:
It went "Zip" when it moved
And "Bop" when it stopped,
And "Whirrr" when it stood still.
I never knew just
What it was
And I guess I never will.
It first marched left
And 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
But my daddy laughed
'Cause he knew
That I would find,
When I turned around
My marvelous toy
Would be chugging from behind.
It went "Zip" when it moved
And "Bop" when it stopped,
And "Whirrr" when it stood still.
I never knew just
What it was
And I guess I never will.
The years have gone
By 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
And 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
It went "Zip" when it moved
And "Bop" when it stopped,
And "Whirrr" when it stood still.
I never knew just
What it was
And I guess I never will.
