Lyrics
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy
My father homeward came one day and gave to me a toy
A wonder to behold it was with many colours bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight
It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped whirrrrr when it stood
Still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
Now the first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
For right on the bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, well here is what it did
It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped whirrrrr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
It first marched left and then marched right, then marched under the chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry my daddy laughed he knew just what I'd find
When I turned around my marvellous toy came chugging from behind
It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped and whirrrrr when it stood
Still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
Well the years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvellous little toy
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
It still goes zip when it moves and bop when it stops, whirrrrr when it
Stands still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
