t Meroakels Speultje
Wie waiten apmoal dat zeelu vroeger in de maist vremde streken kwamen en den de maist roare dingen mit noamen noar hoes.
Dingen woarvan ze zulf voakl nait ais wisten wat t was of woarveur t was,
En messchain is dat ok wat is beurd in dit laidje
Wereldwied bekend worden deur: Peter, Paul & Mary
Grunneger omtoalen: Johan W. Koning
Doun ik nog moar n lutje jonk was
Goud gezond en blied
Kwam mien voar op n oavond thoes
En gaf n speultje oan mie
n Wunder om te zain was t
dadde grille kleuren haar
En òf’t moment dat ik t zag
Werd t de vreugde van mien haart
Het ging “Zip” as t bewoog
En “Bop” as’t spròng
En “Whirrr” as t bleef stoan
Ik heb nooit waiten wat t was
en ik zel’t ok nooit waiten goan.
Eersted moal dat ik t tilde
kreeg ik hail grode ogen
Den doar op de boom waren twij grode knobben
Dij leken krekt groene ogen
Ik drōkte eerst de ain en den de aander
Doun keerde ik zien lid
En as ik hom weer henzette
Wat t dee was didde.
Het ging “Zip” as t bewoog
En “Bop” as’t spròng
En “Whirrr” as t bleef stoan
Ik heb nooit waiten wat t was
en ik zel’t ok nooit waiten goan.
Eerst ging t noar links en den ging t rechts
doun ging t achter n piloar
En as ik keek woar t was bleven (+2)
Was t joa heul nait doar
Ik begun te reeren, moar mien voar dij lagte
Den hai wist dat ik’t vinden zól
Als ik mie omkeerde, mien meroakels speultje
Achter mie stoan puffen zól
“Zip” as t bewoog
En “Bop” as’t spròng
En “Whirrr” as t bleef stoan
Ik heb nooit waiten wat t was
en ik zel’t ok nooit waiten goan.
Whirr, whirr, whirr
De joaren gingen veul te gaauw voorbie, zo’t liekt
Ik heb mien aigen lutje jonk
En gustern was’t dat ik oan hom
Mien meroakels speultje schònk
Zien ogen villen hoast oet zien kop
En hai gaf n gilp van schrik
Gain van ons baaiden wait sekuur wat òf’t is
Moar hai mag’t geern krekt as ik
t Goat nog aaltied “Zip” as t beweegt
En “Bop” as’t springt
En “Whirrr” as t blieft stoan
Ik heb nooit waiten wat t was
en ik zel’t ok nooit waiten goan.
The Marvelous Toy
Written by: Tom Paxton
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
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 its lid
And when I set it down again
Here is what it did
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
It first marched left and then marched right
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
“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
Whirr, whirr, whirr
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 “Zip” when it moves
And “Bop” when it stops
And “Whirrr” when it stands still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will
