作词 : Tom Paxton 作曲 : 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 "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 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 it's lid And when I set it down again Here is what it did: It went "Zip" when it moved And "Bop" when it stopped, And "Whirrr" when it stood still. I never knew just What it was And I guess I never will. 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. It went "Zip" when it moved And "Bop" when it stopped, And "Whirrr" when it stood still. I never knew just What it was And I guess I never will. 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 It still goes It went "Zip" when it moved And "Bop" when it stopped, And "Whirrr" when it stood still. I never knew just What it was And I guess I never will.
