(verse 1)
G D G D
When I was just a wee little lad full of health and joy
C G A7 D
My Daddy homeward came one night and gave to me a toy
G D G C
A wonder to be hold it was with many colours bright
G A7 G D
And the moment I laid eyes on it it became my heart's delight
G D
And it went zip when it moved bop when it stopped
G C
Whirrrrr when it stood still
G Am D G C G Am D G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will 
(verse 2)
G D G D
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
C G A7 D
For right on its bottom were two big buttons that looked like big green eyes
G D G C
I first pushed one and then the other then I twisted it's lid
G A7 G D
And when I set it down again well here is what it did
G D
And it went zip when it moved bop when it stopped
G C
Whirrrrr when it stood still
G Am D G C G Am D G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
(verse 3)
G D G D
It first marched left and then marched right then marched under the chair
C G A7 D
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
G D G C
I started to cry my Daddy laughed he knew just what I'd find
G A7 G D
When I turned around my marvelous toy came chugging from behind
G D
And it went zip when it moved bop when it stopped
G C
Whirrrrr when it stood still
G Am D G C G Am D G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
(verse 4)
G D G D
Years have gone by too quickly it seems now I have my own little boy
C G A7 D
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy
G D G C
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head and he gave a squeal of glee
G A7 G D
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me
D G D
It still goes zip when it moves bop when it stops
G C
Whirrrrr when it stands still
G Am D G C G Am D G
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
