The Marvelous Toy Cifras

[Verse]
G                 D7              G                  D7
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
   C               G                  A7           D7
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
  G           D7               G           C
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
C                     G                A7                D7
And the moment I laid eyes on it, It became my heart's delight.
 
 
[Chorus]
        G                        D7                     G                     C
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped, "Whirrr" when it stood still
   C               G                 D7            G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
 
 
[Verse]
     G                 D7          G                 D7
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
       C                        G                    A7                   D7
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes
   G                    D7               G                 C
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted its lid
     C              G          A7              D7
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
 
 
[Chorus]
         G                        D7                     G                     C
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped, "Whirrr" when it stood still
   C               G                 D7            G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
 
 
[Verse]
    G                       D7                     G                    D7
It first marched left, and then marched right and then marched under a chair
      C                 G                A7          D7
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
    G                     D7                      G                 C
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed 'cause he knew that I would find,
         C               G                      A7              D7
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
 
 
[Chorus]
        G                        D7                     G                     C
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped, "Whirrr" when it stood still
   C               G                 D7            G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
 
 
[Verse]
     G                      D7               G                    D7
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
     C           G              A7              D7
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
     G                       D7                      G                 C
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head and he gave a squeal of glee!
         C                    G                 A7                D7
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
 
 
[Chorus]
               G                        D7                     G                     C
It still goes "Zip" when it moves and "Pop" when it stops, "Whirrr" when it stands still
   C               G                 D7            G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
