The Marvelous Toy
Enchanting Journey of a Mysterious Plaything
Lyrics
1, 2, 3, 4
Counting, likely representing the sequence of events
When I was just a wee little boy, full of health and joy
Reflecting on childhood memories
One Christmas morning I received a marvellous little toy
Recalling receiving a special toy on Christmas morning
A wonder to behold it was, with many colors bright
Describing the toy as visually captivating with bright colors
And the first trime I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight
Expressing joy and affection for the toy
It went zip when it moved
Describing the toy's sounds and expressing uncertainty about its nature
Bop when it stopped
-Whirrr 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
Discovering buttons on the toy that resemble eyes
For right on it's bottom were two big buttons
-That looked like big green eyes
-I first pushed one, then the other, then I twisted it's lid
Interacting with the buttons and observing the toy's response
And when I set it down again, this is what it did
-It went zip when it moved
Repeating the description of the toy's sounds and expressing ongoing uncertainty
Bop when it stopped
-Whirrr when it stood still
-I never knew just what it was
-And I guess I never will
-It first marched left, then marched right
Describing the toy's unexpected movements and disappearance
And then marched under a chair
-And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
-I started to cry, my daddy laughed, he knew that I would find
Emotional reaction, with the father understanding the situation
When I turned around my marvelous toy chugging from behind
-It went zip when it moved
Reiterating the toy's sounds and the speaker's perpetual confusion
Bop when it stopped
-Whirrr when it stood still
-I never knew just what it was
-And I guess I never will
-The years have passed too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
Reflecting on the passage of time, passing the toy to the next generation
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 moves
Describing the toy's continued operation and the enduring mystery surrounding it
Bop when it stops
-Whirrr when it stands still
-I never knew just what it was
-And I guess I never will
-I never knew just what it was
Reaffirming the perpetual uncertainty about the toy's nature
And I guess I never will
