was just a wee little lass,
My father gave to me one night
Oh, wonder to behold it was,
with many colours bright,
And the moment I laid eyes on it,
it became my heart's delight.
It went zip when it moved,
and brrrr 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
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
It went zip when it moved
and cluck when it stopped
and brrrr when it stood still.
I never knew just what it was
and I guess I never will.
It first went left and then went right
then marched right under a chair
and when I looked where it had gone
I started to cry and my daddy laughed
for he knew that I would find
It went zip when it moved
I never knew just what it was
and I guess I never will.
Well the years have gone by too quickly,
it seems I have my own little boy.
And yesterday I gave to him
my marvellous little toy.
and he gave a squeal of glee
Neither one of us knows just what it is,
but he loves it just like me
It goes zip when it moves
and brrrr when it stands still
Neither one of us knows just what it is,
and I guess we never will
