the marvelous toy
(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 “whirr” 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 its bottom were two big b-ttons that
looked like big green eyes.
i first pushed one and then the other, and then i twisted its lid
and when i set it down again, this is what it did:
it first marched left and then marched right
and then marched under a chair
and when l looked where it had gone, it wasn’t even there:
i started to sob and my daddy laughed, for he knew that i would find,
when l turned around, my marvelous toy, chugging from behind.
well, 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.
