was just a wee little lad,
My father homeward came one night
it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it,
it became my heart's delight
It went sit when it moved,
rah -rah -rah -rah -rah -rah when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
It first marched left then marched right
then marched under a chair
and when I looked where it had gone
Started to cry my daddy laughed
cuz he knew that I would find
came chugging from behind
It went zip when it moved,
brrrrrrr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was,
Well, the years spin by too quickly
it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him
Neither one of us know just what it is
But he loves it just like me
It went zip when it moved
Brrrr when it stood still
We never knew just what it was
And I guess we never will
It went zip when it moved
We never knew just what it was,
and I guess we never will.
