The Marvelous Toy - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)
Written by：Tom Paxton
When I was just a wee little boy full of health and joy
One Christmas morning I received a marvellous little 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
Bop when it stopped
Whirrr 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 it's bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one then the other then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again this is what it did
It went zip when it moved
Bop when it stopped
Whirrr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will
It first marched left then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry my daddy laughed he knew that I would find
When I turned around my marvelous toy chugging from behind
It went zip when it moved
Bop when it stopped
Whirrr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will
Well the years have passed 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 he gave a squeal of glee
Neither one of us knows
Just what it is but he loves it just like me
It still goes zip when it moves
Bop when it stops
Whirrr when it stands still
I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will
I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will
