Here Are The Lyrics:
When I was just a wee little lass 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.
It went *** when it moved and +++ when it stopped
And %%% 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 and then the other, and then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, this is what it did:
It went *** when it moved and +++ when it stopped
And %%% when it stood still.
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
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 sob and my Daddy laughed, for he knew that I would find,
When I turned around, my marvelous toy, chugging from behind. (chugga chugga)
It went *** when it moved and +++ when it stopped
And %%% when it stood still.
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.

When I was just a wee little lass 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.
It went *** when it moved and +++ when it stopped
And %%% when it stood still.
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
