Marvelous Little Toy                                  popped right out of his head and he gave a        
(Peter Paul & Mary)                                   squeal of glee. Neither one of us know just what  
                                                      it is, but he loves it just like me.              
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health                                                        
and joy, My father homeward came one night and        It still goes...                                  
gave to me a toy. A wonder to behold it was,                                                            
with many colors bright, And the moment I laid        [chorus]                                          
eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.                                                               
                                                                                                        
[chorus]:                                                                                               
    It went zip when it moved and pop                                                                   
    when it stopped, Whir 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, 'Cause right on the bottom were two                                                           
big buttons that looked like big green eyes. I                                                          
first pushed one and then the other, then I                                                             
twisted its lid, And when I put it down again,                                                          
this is what it did.                                                                                    
                                                                                                        
[chorus]                                                                                                
                                                                                                        
It first marched left and then marched right,                                                           
and 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 'cause he                                                          
knew that I would find When I turned around my                                                          
marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.                                                            
                                                                                                        
[chorus]                                                                                                
                                                                                                        
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
