Verse 1
G 
D 
When I was just a wee little lass,
G 
D 
full of health and joy,
F 
C 
G 
My father homeward came one night
A 
D 
and gave to me a toy.
G 
F 
D 
A wonder to behold it was,
G 
with many colors bright,
C 
G 
And the moment I laid eyes on it,
A 
D 
it became my heart's delight.
G 
It went whoosh when it moves,
D 
and pop when it stops,
G 
and whoosh when it stood still.
C 
G 
I  never knew it as what it was,
D 
G 
and I guess I never will.
D 
The first time that I picked it up,
G 
D 
I had a big surprise.
C 
For right on its bottom
G 
were two big buttons
A 
D 
that looked like big green eyes.
G 
D 
I first pushed one, and then the other,
G 
C 
and then I twisted its lid.
G 
And when I set it down again,
A 
D 
this is what it did
G 
It went whoosh, and a boos,
D 
G 
and a pop, and a stomp, and a purr
C 
When it stood still,
G 
I never knew just what it was
D 
G 
And I guess I never will
Well, it first marched left,
D 
and then marched right
G 
D 
And then marched under a chair
C 
G 
And when I looked where it had gone,
A 
it wasn't even there
D 
G 
D 
I started to sob and my daddy laughed,
G 
C 
he knew that I would find
When I turned her off,
G 
my marvellous toy,
A 
D 
chugging from behind
G 
It went whoosh, and a whoosh,
D 
G 
C 
and a bang, and a stomp, and a grrrr, and it stood still
G 
I never knew just what it was,
D 
G 
and I guess I never will
D 
Well the years have gone by too quickly
G 
D 
it seems, I have my own little boy
C 
G 
And yesterday I gave to him
A 
my marvellous little toy
D 
G 
His eyes nearly popped
D 
right out of his head
G 
C 
And it gave a squeal of glee
G 
Neither one of us knows just what it is
A 
D 
But he loves it just like me
G 
It still goes swish and moves
D 
And poof when you stop
G 
C 
And hrrr when it stood still
G 
I never knew just what it was
D 
G 
And I guess I never will
Thank you.
