When I was just a wee little lad, |
| [00:18.25] |
Full of health and joy, |
| [00:20.71] |
My father homeward came one night |
| [00:23.97] |
And gave to me a toy. |
| [00:26.63] |
A wonder to behold it was |
| [00:29.76] |
With many colors bright |
| [00:32.42] |
And the moment I laid eyes on it, |
| [00:35.65] |
It became my heart's delight. |
| [00:37.99] |
It went "Zip" when it moved |
| [00:40.22] |
And "Bop" when it stopped, |
| [00:41.79] |
And "Whirrr" when it stood still. |
| [00:44.38] |
I never knew just |
| [00:46.15] |
What it was |
| [00:47.38] |
And I guess I never will. |
| [00:51.97] |
The first time that I picked it up |
| [00:55.22] |
I had a big surprise |
| [00:57.76] |
Cause right on the bottom |
| [00:59.46] |
Were two big buttons |
| [01:00.90] |
That looked like big green eyes |
| [01:03.63] |
I first pushed one and then the other, |
| [01:06.59] |
Then I twisted it's lid |
| [01:09.53] |
And when I set it down again |
| [01:12.90] |
Here is what it did: |
| [01:15.56] |
It went "Zip" when it moved |
| [01:17.14] |
And "Bop" when it stopped, |
| [01:18.73] |
And "Whirrr" when it stood still. |
| [01:21.41] |
I never knew just |
| [01:23.25] |
What it was |
| [01:24.37] |
And I guess I never will. |
| [01:28.83] |
It first marched left |
| [01:30.29] |
And then marched right |
| [01:32.21] |
And then marched under a chair |
| [01:34.63] |
And when I looked |
| [01:36.13] |
Where it had gone |
| [01:37.66] |
It wasn't even there |
| [01:40.57] |
I started to cry |
| [01:42.06] |
But my daddy laughed |
| [01:43.77] |
'Cause he knew |
| [01:44.54] |
That I would find, |
| [01:46.44] |
When I turned around |
| [01:47.97] |
My marvelous toy |
| [01:49.51] |
Would be chugging from behind. |
| [01:52.74] |
It went "Zip" when it moved |
| [01:54.55] |
And "Bop" when it stopped, |
| [01:55.65] |
And "Whirrr" when it stood still. |
| [01:58.29] |
I never knew just |
| [02:00.03] |
What it was |
| [02:01.27] |
And I guess I never will. |
| [02:16.94] |
The years have gone |
| [02:18.62] |
By too quickly it seems, |
| [02:21.24] |
I have my own little boy |
| [02:24.34] |
And yesterday I gave to him |
| [02:28.28] |
My marvelous little toy: |
| [02:33.22] |
His eyes nearly popped |
| [02:37.43] |
Right out of his head |
| [02:38.79] |
And he gave a squeal of glee |
| [02:41.63] |
Neither one of us knows just |
| [02:43.49] |
What it is |
| [02:44.77] |
But he loves it just like me |
| [02:47.16] |
It still goes |
| [02:48.09] |
It went "Zip" when it moved |
| [02:49.49] |
And "Bop" when it stopped, |
| [02:50.66] |
And "Whirrr" when it stood still. |
| [02:53.72] |
I never knew just |
| [02:55.43] |
What it was |
| [02:56.58] |
And I guess I never will. |
