Marvelous Toy

When I was just a wee little boy.
Full of health and joy.
One Christmas morning I received
A marvelous little toy.
A wonder to be hold it was
Many colours bright.
And the moment I layed eyes on it
It became my heart's delight.
It went "zip" when it moved,
"Bop" when it stopped,
"Brrr" 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 it's bottom
Were two green buttons
That looked like big green eyes.
I first pushed one.
And then the other.
And then I pushed on its lid.
And when I set it down again
This is what it did.
It went "zip" when it moved,
"Bop" when it stopped,
"Brrr" when it stood still.
I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will.

It first marched left.
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.
My daddy laughed.
He knew that I would find.
When I turned around my marvelous toy
Chugging from behind.
It went "zip" when it moved,
"Bop" when it stopped,
"Brrr" when it stood still.
I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will.

Well, the years have passed
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.
He gave the squeal of glee
Neither one of us knows just what it is,
But he loves it just like me.
It still goes "zip" when it moves,
"Bop" when it stops,
"Brrr" when it stands still.
I never knew just what it was

And I guess I never will
I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will

The mysterious Marvelous Toy which sound like its a robot, but can you be sure?
I hope you enjoy listening to John Denver sing this fun Christmas song.
