Intro: C  G  D  G 

                  D            
When I was just a little girl 
G                  D 
Full of health and joy 
    C                 G              
One Christmas morning I received 
  A7                D 
A marvellous little toy 
  G           D            
A wonder to behold it was 
     G            C 
With many colours bright 
                      G                     
And the moment I laid eyes on it 
     A7                D 
It became my heart's delight 


Chorus: 
         G                                        
It went 'Zip' when it moved 
 D                  
'Pop' when it stopped 
 G                    C 
'Whirr' when it stood still 
                  G             
I never knew just what it was 
      D             G     C  G  D  G 
And I guess I never will 


                      D            
The first time that I picked it up  
  G            D 
I had a big surprise 
       C                        G              
'Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons 
     A7                    D 
That looked like big green eyes 
  G                    D            
I first pushed one and then the other 
    G                 C 
And then I pushed its lid 
                  G                     
And when I set it down again 
A7              D 
This is what it did:  



G It went 'Zip' when it moved D 'Pop' when it stopped G C 'Whirr' when it stood still G I never knew just what it was D G C G D G And I guess I never will
D It first marched left, and then marched right G D And then went under a chair C G And when I looked where it had gone A7 D It wasn't even there G D I started to cry, my daddy laughed G C He knew that I would find G When I turned around my marvellous toy A7 D A-chugging from behind
G It went 'Zip' when it moved D 'Pop' when it stopped G C 'Whirr' when it stood still G I never knew just what it was D G C G D G And I guess I never will
Instrumental: (## same as verse ##) D G D C G A7 D G D G C G A7 G D The years have gone by too quickly it seems G D I have my own little boy C G And yesterday I gave to him A7 D My marvellous little toy G D His eyes nearly popped right out of his head G C He gave a squeal of glee G And neither one of us knows just what it is A7 D But he loves it just like me
G It still goes 'Zip' when it moves D 'Pop' when it stops G C 'Whirr' when it stands still G I never knew just what it was D G And I guess I never will C G I never knew just what it was D G C G D G And I guess I never will
