When I was just a wee little boy. Full of health and joy. One Christmas morning I received - A marvelous little toy. A wonder to be hold it was with many colours bright. And the moment I layed eyes on it It became my heart's delight.
CHORUS It went "zzzip" when it moved,"Bopp" when it stopped,"Brrr" 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 it's bottom were two green buttons that looked like big green eyes. I first pushed one, And then the other, And then I pushed its lid. And when I set it down again This is what it did.
CHORUS
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 poppedright out of his head. He gave the squeal of glee Neither one of us knows just what it is, But he loves it just like me.
CHORUS repeat: “I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will.”
