When I was just a little girl Full of health and joy One Christmas morning I received A marvelous little toy A wonder to behold it was With many colors bright And the moment I laid eyes on it It became my heart's delight. It went zip when it moved Ba when it stopped Burr 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 the bottom were two big bu*tons That looked like big green eyes I first pushed one and then the other And then I twisted its lid And when I set it down again Here is what it did It went zip when it moved Ba when it stopped Burr when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will It first marched left, then marched right 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 He knew that I would find When I turned around my marvelous toy A chugging from behind It went zip when it moved Ba when it stopped Burr when it stood still I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will Well the years have pa**ed 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 a 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 moved Ba when it stopped Burr when it stood 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
