[00:01.189]It went"zip" when it moved
[00:02.769]And"bop" when it stopped
[00:04.099]And"whirr" when it stood still
[00:06.278]I never knew just what it was
[00:09.078]And I guess I never will
[00:11.498]When I was just a wee little lad full of health and joy
[00:16.387]My father homeward came one night
[00:19.357]And gave to me a toy
[00:21.507]A wonder to behold it was
[00:23.847]With many colors bright
[00:26.777]And the moment I laid eyes on it it
[00:29.597]Became my heart's delight
[00:31.396]It went"zip" when it moved
[00:33.876]And"bop" when it stopped
[00:34.946]And"whirr" when it stood still
[00:37.006]I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
[00:42.436]The first time that I picked it up
[00:45.066]I had a big surprise
[00:47.406]For right on its bottom were two big buttons that
[00:50.355]Looked like big green eyes
[00:52.465]I first pushed one and then the other
[00:55.045]And then I twisted its lid
[00:57.545]And when I set it down again this is what it did:
[01:02.255]It went"zip" when it moved and"bop" when it stopped
[01:05.785]And"whirr" when it stood still
[01:07.985]I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
[01:13.475]It first marched left and then marched right
[01:16.455]And then marched under a chair
[01:18.715]And when l looked where it had gone
[01:21.225]It wasn't even there
[01:23.775]I started to sob and my daddy laughed
[01:26.375]For he knew that I would find
[01:28.895]When l turned around my marvelous toy
[01:31.635]Chugging from behind
[01:33.893]It went"zip" when it moved
[01:35.883]And"bop" when it stopped
[01:37.163]And"whirr" when it stood still
[01:39.292]I never knew just what it was
[01:41.612]And I guess I never will
[01:44.792]Well the years have gone by too quickly it seems
[01:47.622]I have my own little boy
[01:50.172]And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy
[01:55.552]His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
[01:58.272]And he gave a squeal of glee
[02:00.812]Neither one of us knows just what it is
[02:03.492]But he loves it just like me
[02:05.962]It still goes"zip" when it moves"bop" when it stops
[02:08.962]And"whirr" when it stands still
[02:11.182]I never knew just what it was
[02:14.382]And I guess I never will
