The Marvelous Toy The Chad Mitchell Trio

[Verse 1]
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 heart's delight

[Chorus]
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]
The first time 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
I first pushed one, then the other, then I twisted its lid
And when I set it down again here is what it did

[Chorus]
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
