Clockwork Vaudeville
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I was a young boy, I went down to the country fair
Brought myself a nickel, bought a pickle, had change to spare
Thought I'd spend a cent or two to see what the robots could do
There were wires all around
Electrical sounds
Steam from their exhausts
Gears and coils all criss-crossed (ah, ah, ah, ha, ha, eay!)
Everybody's going to the clockwork vaudeville
Everybody wants to see the show
People crowd the door and scream and shout for more
While music and song fill the air
Clockwork vaudeville (clockwork vaudeville)
Clockwork vaudeville (clockwork vaudeville)
There were four metal people dressed oh so sharply
They sung and danced a catchy tune with automaton robotic ease
Their guitar strings hummed to the beat kept by their tambourine
Boilers making steam
Metal gleaming
Songs with a good tune
That would stick with you all through the afternoon
Everybody's going to the clockwork vaudeville
Everybody wants to see the show
People clap and stop their feet and join in with the robot beat
While music and song fill the air
Clockwork vaudeville (clockwork vaudeville)
Clockwork vaudeville (clockwork vaudeville)
A man came up to me after the show, after the show
(He had a moustache)
And asked me if I'd like to meet the robots up close, the robots up close
(Not programmed to bite)
Well they greeted me and one shook my hand, one shook my hand
(Absolutely cool)
And asked me if I'd like to join his robot band, I said oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-ah-ah
Everybody's going to the clockwork vaudeville
Everybody wants to see the show
People crowd the door and scream and shout for more
While music and song fill the air
Clockwork vaudeville (clockwork vaudeville)
When I was a young boy I went down to the county fair
