[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. |
