The Marvelous Toy  Peter, Paul and Mary



[D]When I was just [A7]a wee little [D]lad, full of heal[A7]th and joy,
[G]My father home[D]ward came one [E7]night and gave to [A7]me a toy.
[D]A wonder to be[A7]hold it was with [D]many colors [G]bright
[G]And the moment [D]I laid eyes on it, [A]It be[D]came my heart's [A7]delight.
Chorus
[D]It went "Zip" when [A7]it moved and "Pop" when [D]it stopped, "Whirrr" when [G]it stood still
[G]I never knew just [D]what it was and [A7]I guess I never [D]will.

The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause 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 its lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:

Chorus

It first marched left, and then marched right and then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed 'cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.

Chorus

The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous 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... Chorus
