Choral (3-Part Mixed choir)
SKU: HL.292695

This enduring children's classic, made famous by Peter, Paul and Mary and covered by others, is full of fun and whimsy. It is complete with sound effects of a toy that we don't know the origin of. However, the mysterious toy is a joy in our imagination and although “I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will”, the lyrics allow singers and audience to dream of the possibilities.
