[]wonder to be[]hold it was with []many colors []bright And the moment I lay []eyes on it it be[]came my []heart’s delight. {start_of_chorus} It went [D]zip when it moved and [A7]pop when it stopped And [D]whirrrrrr when it stood [G]still. {end_of_chorus}                                            The []first time that I []picked it up I []had 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. {C: chorus} It []first marched left and []then marched straight []then marched under []chair And []when I looked where []it had gone it []wasn’t even []there. I []started to cry but my []daddy laughted ’cause he []knew that I would []find When I turned around my []marvelous toy would be []chugging on be[]hind. {C: chorus} The []years have gone by too []quickly it seems now []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 squeal of []glee Neither one of us knows just []what it is but he []loves it just like []me. {C: chorus}
