It went "zip" when it moved[00:00:01]
And "bop" when it stopped [00:00:02]
And "whirr" when it stood still [00:00:04]
I never knew just what it was[00:00:06]
And I guess I never will [00:00:09]
When I was just a wee little lad full of health and joy [00:00:11]
My father homeward came one night[00:00:16]
And gave to me a toy [00:00:19]
A wonder to behold it was [00:00:21]
With many colors bright [00:00:23]
And the moment I laid eyes on it it[00:00:26]
Became my heart's delight [00:00:29]
It went "zip" when it moved[00:00:31]
And "bop" when it stopped [00:00:33]
And "whirr" when it stood still [00:00:34]
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will [00:00:37]
The first time that I picked it up [00:00:42]
I had a big surprise [00:00:45]
For right on its bottom were two big buttons that [00:00:47]
Looked like big green eyes [00:00:50]
I first pushed one and then the other [00:00:52]
And then I twisted its lid [00:00:55]
And when I set it down again this is what it did:[00:00:57]
It went "zip" when it moved and "bop" when it stopped [00:01:02]
And "whirr" when it stood still [00:01:05]
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will [00:01:07]
It first marched left and then marched right [00:01:13]
And then marched under a chair [00:01:16]
And when l looked where it had gone [00:01:18]
It wasn't even there [00:01:21]
I started to sob and my daddy laughed [00:01:23]
For he knew that I would find [00:01:26]
When l turned around my marvelous toy [00:01:28]
Chugging from behind [00:01:31]
It went "zip" when it moved[00:01:33]
And "bop" when it stopped [00:01:35]
And "whirr" when it stood still [00:01:37]
I never knew just what it was[00:01:39]
And I guess I never will [00:01:41]
Well the years have gone by too quickly it seems [00:01:44]
I have my own little boy [00:01:47]
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy [00:01:50]
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head [00:01:55]
And he gave a squeal of glee [00:01:58]
Neither one of us knows just what it is [00:02:00]
But he loves it just like me [00:02:03]
It still goes "zip" when it moves "bop" when it stops [00:02:05]
And "whirr" when it stands still [00:02:08]
I never knew just what it was [00:02:11]
And I guess I never will[00:02:14]
