  I couldn't find a Paxton recording, so this is from what I got from this

  newsgroup

  as well as the Peter, Paul and Mary recording.

  

  

  {title:The Marvelous Toy}

  {st:Tom Paxton}

  

  When [D]I was just a [A7]wee little lad, [D]full of health and [A7]joy,

  My [G]father homeward [D]came one night and [E]gave to me a [A7]toy.

  A [D]wonder to be[A7]hold it was, with [D]many colors [G]bright,

  And the moment I lay [D]eyes on it, it be[E]came my [A7]heart's delight.

  

  {start_of_chorus}

  It went [D]zip when it moved and [A7]pop when it stopped,

  And [D]whirrrrrr when it stood [G]still.

  I never knew just [D]what it was and I [A7]guess I never [D]will.

  {end_of_chorus}

  

  The [D]first time that I [A7]picked it up, I [D]had a big [A7]surprise,

  'Cause [G]right on the bottom were [D]two big buttons that [E]looked like big

  green [A7]eyes.

  I [D]first pushed one and [A7]then the other, [D]then I twisted its [G]lid,

  And when I set it [D]down again, [E]here is what it [A7]did.

  

  {c: chorus}

  

  It [D]first marched left and [A7]then marched straight, [D]then marched under a

  [A7]chair,

  And [G]when I looked where [D]it had gone it [E]wasn't even [A7]there.

  I [D]started to cry but my [A7]daddy laughted 'cause he [D]knew that I would

  [G]find,

  When I turned around my [D]marvelous toy would be [E]chugging on be[A7]hind.

  

  {c: chorus}

  

  The [D]years have gone by too [A7]quickly it seems, now [D]I have my own little

  [A7]boy,

  And [G]yesterday I [D]gave to him my [E]marvelous little [A7]toy.

  His [D]eyes nearly popped right [A7]out of his head and he [D]gave a squeal of

  [G]glee,

  Neither one of us knows just [D]what it is but he [E]loves it just like [A7]me.

  

  {c: chorus}
