followed by (C, Am, F, G) x6
Am G
When I was a young boy I went down to the county fair
Am G
Brought myself a nickel, bought a pickle, had change to spare
Am G
Thought I'd spend a cent or two to see what the robots could do
C Am (F, G)
There were wires all around
C Am (F, G)
Electrical sounds
C Am (F, G)
Steam from their exhausts
C Am F G
Gears and coils all criss-crossed (Ah, ah, ah ha ha, Eay!)
C Am F G
Everybody's going to the clockwork vaudeville
C Am F G
Everybody wants to see the show
C Am F G
People crowd the door and scream and shout for more
C Am F G
While music and song fill the air
F
Clockwork vaudeville (Clockwork vaudeville)
G
Clockwork vaudeville (Clockwork vaudeville)
(C Am F G) x4
Am G
There were four metal people dressed oh so sharply
Am G
They sung and danced a catchy tune with automaton robotic ease
Am G
Their guitar strings hummed to the beat kept by their tambourine
C Am F G
Boilers making steam (ah ha ha ha ha)
C Am F G
Metal gleaming (ah ha ha ha ha)
C Am F G
Songs with a good tune (ah ha ha ha ha)
C Am F G
That would stick with you all through the afternoon (Ooo, ooo, ooo who who)
C Am F G
Everybody's going to the clockwork vaudeville
C Am F G
Everybody wants to see the show
C Am F G
People crowd the door and scream and shout for more
C Am F G
While music and song fill the air
F
Clockwork vaudeville (Clockwork vaudeville)
G
Clockwork vaudeville (Clockwork vaudeville)
Am F G
A man came up to me after the show, after the show
(He had a moustache)
Am F G
And asked me if I'd like to meet the robots up close, the robots up close
(Not programmed to bite)
Am F G
Well they greeted me and one shook my hand, one shook my hand
(Absolutely cool)
Am F G
And asked me if I'd like to join his robot band, I said oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-ah-ah
C Am F G
Everybody's going to the clockwork vaudeville
C Am F G
Everybody wants to see the show
C Am F G
People crowd the door and scream and shout for more
C Am F G
While music and song fill the air
F
Clockwork vaudeville (Clockwork vaudeville)
G
Clockwork vaudeville (Clockwork vaudeville)
Am G Am
When I was a young boy I went down to the county fair...
