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.
