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 hearts delight

It went Zip when it moved

Bop when it stopped

Whirr 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

For right on its bottom were two big button

That looked like big green eyes

I first pushed one and then the other

Then I twisted its lid

And when I set it down again

Here is what it did

It went Zip when it moved

Bop when it stopped

Whirr when it stood still

I never knew just what it was

And I guess I never will

It first marched left then marched right

Then marched under a chair

And when I looked where it had gone

It wasn't even there

It started to cry and my Daddy laughed

For he knew that I would find

When I turned around my marvelous toy

Chugging from behind

It went Zip when it moved

Bop when it stopped

Whirr when it stood still

I never knew just what it was

And I guess I never will

Now 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

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 Zip when it moves

And Bop when it stops

And Whirr when it stand still

I never knew just what it was

And I guess I never will

I never knew just what it was

And I guess I never will
