The Singing Scoutmaster: Marvelous Toy

Intro

It went Czip when it moved

and G7pop when it stopped,

And Cwhirrrrrr when it stood Fstill.

I never knew just Cwhat it was

and I G7guess I never Cwill.

When CI was just a G7wee little lad,

Cfull of health and G7joy,

My Ffather homeward Ccame one night

and Dgave to me a G7toy.

A Cwonder to beG7hold it was,

with Cmany colors Fbright,

And the moment I laid Ceyes on it,

it beDcame my G7heart's delight.

It went Czip when it moved

and G7pop when it stopped,

And Cwhirrrrrr when it stood Fstill.

I never knew just Cwhat it was

and I G7guess I never Cwill.

The Cfirst time that I G7picked it up,

I Chad a big G7surprise,

'Cause Fright on the bottom

were Ctwo big buttons

that Dlooked like big green G7eyes.

I Cfirst pushed one and G7then the other,

Cthen I twisted its Flid,

And when I set it Cdown again,

Dhere is what it G7did.

It went Czip when it moved

and G7pop when it stopped,

And Cwhirrrrrr when it stood Fstill.

I never knew just Cwhat it was

and I G7guess I never Cwill.

It Cfirst marched left

and G7then marched straight,

Cthen marched under a G7chair,

And Fwhen I looked where Cit had gone

it Dwasn't even G7there.

I Cstarted to cry but my G7daddy laughted

'cause he Cknew that I would Ffind,

When I turned around my Cmarvelous toy

would be Dchugging on beG7hind.

It went Czip when it moved

and G7pop when it stopped,

And Cwhirrrrrr when it stood Fstill.

I never knew just Cwhat it was

and I G7guess I never Cwill.

The Cyears have gone by too G7quickly it seems,

now CI have my own little G7boy,

And Fyesterday I Cgave to him

my Dmarvelous little G7toy.

His Ceyes nearly popped

right G7out of his head

and he Cgave a squeal of Fglee,

Neither one of us knows just Cwhat it is

but he Dloves it just like G7me.

It still goes Czip when it moves

and G7pop when it stops,

And Cwhirrrrrr when it stands Fstill.

I never knew just Cwhat it was

and I G7guess I never Cwill.
