Tom Paxton - The Marvelous Toy lyrics
The Marvelous Toy (Tom Paxton) When I was just a wee little lad full of health and joy My father homeward came one night and gave to me a 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 and "bop" when it stopped And "whirr" 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 its 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, this is what it did: It first marched left and then marched right And then marched under a chair And when l looked where it had gone, it wasn't even there: I started to sob and my daddy laughed, for he knew that I would find, When l turned around, my marvelous toy, chugging from behind. Well, the years have gone by 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 And he gave a squeal of glee, Neither one of us knows just what it is, but he loves it, just like me. @kids Written, printed, and recorded by Tom Paxton Copyright Tom Paxton filename[ MARVTOY play.exe MARVTOY SF ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY |
