Intro: 
G D A D 

     D             A               D                  A 
When I was just a wee little boy, full of health and joy 
       G              D             E7                A 
One Christmas morning I received a marvellous little toy 
   D           A                 D            G 
A wonder to behold it was, with many colors bright 
         G                D                 E7                A 
And the first time I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight 

         D 
It went zip when it moved 
 A 
Bop when it stopped 
  D                    G 
Whirrr when it stood still 
   G                D 
I never knew just what it was 
       A             D 
And I guess I never will 

G D A D 

     D                 A              D             A 
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise 
     G                          D                   E7                   A 
For right on it's bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes 
   D                  A               D                  G 
I first pushed one, then the other, then I twisted it's lid 
      G            D            E7             A 
And when I set it down again, this is what it did 

         D 
It went zip when it moved 
 A 
Bop when it stopped 
  D                    G 
Whirrr when it stood still 
   G                D 
I never knew just what it was 
       A             D 
And I guess I never will 

G D A D 

    D                    A                      D                    A 
It first marched left, then marched right and then marched under a chair 
      G                 D               E7           A 
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there 
    D                 A                  D                G 
I started to cry, my daddy laughed, he knew that I would find 
        G                D              E7             A 
When I turned around my marvelous toy chugging from behind 

         D 
It went zip when it moved 
 A 
Bop when it stopped 
  D                    G 
Whirrr when it stood still 
   G                D 
I never knew just what it was 
       A             D 
And I guess I never will 

D A D A G D E7 A 
D D D D G G A D 

     D                     A                   D                  A 
The years have passed too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy 
     G           D              E7               A 
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy 
    D                        A                    D                 G 
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head, he gave a squeal of glee 
        G                      D                E7                 A 
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me 

               D 
It still goes zip when it moves 
 A 
Bop when it stops 
  D                     G 
Whirrr when it stands still 
   G                D 
I never knew just what it was 
       A             D 
And I guess I never will 
   G                D 
I never knew just what it was 
       A             D 
And I guess I never will
