[00:14.85]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.
