Песня: The Marvelous Toy
When I was just a wee little lad,
Full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night
And gave to me a 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.

[Refrain]:
It went "Zip" when it moved, and "Bop" when it stopped,
And "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
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other,
Then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:

[Refrain]

It first marched left, and 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, but my daddy laughed
'Cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy
Would be chugging from behind.

[Refrain]

The years have gone by 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
And 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...

[Refrain]

Перевод песни:
Чудесная игрушка

Когда я был совсем маленьким мальчиком,
Полным здоровья и радости,
Мой отец однажды вечером пришёл домой
И дал мне игрушку.
Удивительно было смотреть
На яркое многоцветье,
И в тот миг, когда я взглянул на неё,
Она стала отрадой моего сердца!..... [открыть перевод]
