And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy
I never knew just what it was and I guess, I never will
And the first time I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight
I never knew just what it was and I guess, I never will
The years have passed, too quickly it seems as I have my own little boy
Whirr, when it stood still
It first marched left and then marched right and then marched under a chair
Whirr, when it stood still
It still goes zip when it moved, bop when it stopped
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stopped
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
When I turned around my marvelous toy, chugging from behind
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
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stopped
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
And when I set it down again, this is what it did
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head, he gave the squeal of glee
I never knew just what it was and I guess, I never will
Whirr, when it stood still
For right on it's bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes
Neither one of us knows, just what it is but he loves it just like me
Whirr when it stand still
I never knew just what it was and I guess, I never will
It went zip when it moved, bop when it stopped
I first pushed one, then the other, then I twisted it's lid
