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
The moment I laid eyes on it
It became my heart's delight
It went "zip" when it moved
And "bop" when it stopped
And "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 buttons
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
This is what it did:
It went "zip" when it moved
And "bop" when it stopped
And "whirr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will
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
The moment I laid eyes on it
It became my heart's delight
It went "zip" when it moved
And "bop" when it stopped
And "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 buttons
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
This is what it did:
It went "zip" when it moved
And "bop" when it stopped
And "whirr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will
