The Marvelous Toy

VERSE 1:
WHEN I WAS JUST A WEE LITTLE LAD
FULL OF HEALTH AND JOY
ONE YEAR FOR CHRISTMAS I RECEIVED
A MARVELOUS LITTLE TOY
A WONDER TO BEHOLD IT WAS
WITH MANY COLOURS BRIGHT
AND THE MOMENT THAT I SET EYES ON IT
IT BECAME MY HEART’S DELIGHT

CHORUS:
AND 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

VERSE 2:
FROM THE MOMENT THAT I PICKED IT UP
I HAD A BIG SURPRISE
FOR RIGHT ON ITS BOTTOM WERE TWO BIG BUTTONS
THAT LOOKED LIKE BIG GREEN EYES
WELL I FIRST PUSHED ONE AND THEN THE OTHER
AND THEN I TWISTED ITS LID
AND WHEN I SET IT DOWN AGAIN
WELL THIS IS WHAT IT DID

CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
IT FIRST MARCHED LEFT AND THEN MARCHED RIGHT
AND THEN MARCHED UNDER A CHAIR
AND WHEN I LOOKED WHERE IT HAD GONE
WELL IT WASN’T EVEN THERE
I STARTED TO CRY AND MY DADDY LAUGHED
FOR HE KNEW THAT I WOULD FIND
WHEN I TURNED AROUND THAT MARVELOUS TOY
CAME A CHUGGING FROM BEHIND

CHORUS:

VERSE 4:
WELL THE YEARS HAVE PASSED SO QUICKLY IT SEEMS
NOW I HAVE MY OWN LITTLE BOY
AND YESTERDAY I GAVE TO HIM
THAT MARVELOUS LITTLE TOY
WELL 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

CHORUS (X2):
