Marvelous Toy Lyrics & Chords By Melanie

When I was just a little girl
Full of health and joy
One Christmas morning I received
A marvelous little toy
A wonder to behold it was
With many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it
It became my heart's delight.
It went zip when it moved
Ba when it stopped
Burr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
and I guess I never will
The first time that I picked it up
I had a big surprise
For right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other
And then I twisted its lid
And when I set it down again
Here is what it did
It went zip when it moved
Ba when it stopped
Burr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
and I guess I never will
It first marched left, then marched right
Then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone
It wasn't even there
I started to cry but my Daddy laughed
He knew that I would find
When I turned around my marvelous toy
A chugging from behind
It went zip when it moved
Ba when it stopped
Burr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
and I guess I never will
Well the years have passed too quickly it seems
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
He gave a squeal of glee
Neither one of us knows just what it is
But he loves it just like me
It still goes zip when it moved
Ba when it stopped
Burr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
and I guess I never will
I never knew just what it was
and I guess I never will
