marvelous toy Tom Paxton
Intro: [G] [ - C - D - G]
[G]When I was just a [C]wee little lad [G]full of health and [D]joy.
My [C]father homeward [G]came one night and gave to me a [D]toy.
[G]A wonder to [C]behold, it was with [G]many colors brigh[D]t.
And the mo[C]ment I laid [G]eyes on it, It be[D]came my hearts del[G]ight.
Chorus:
It went [G]zip when it moved, B[D]op when it stopped, W[C]hirr when it stood s[G]till
C G D G I never knew just what it was, And I guess I never will.
[G]The first time that I[C] picked it up I[G] had a big[D] surprise.
For r[C]ight on it's bottom were [G]two big buttons that lo[D]oked like big green eyes.
[G]I first pushed one and t[C]hen the other,[G] then I twisted it's[D] lid.
[C] [G] [D] [G]And when I sat it down again here's what it did:
-Chorus-
It f[G]irst marched right, [C]then marched left, [G]then marched under a [D]chair.
And [C]when I looked where [G]it had gone,[D] it wasn't even t[G]here.
I [G]started to cry and my d[C]addy laughed, for he[G] knew that I would [D]find
[C] [G] [D] [G]When I turned around my marvelous toy chuggin' from behind.
-Chorus-
Now the years have gone by to 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, he gave a squeal of glee.
Neither one of us know just what it is, but he loves it just like me
Chorus
