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 clap and stomp their feet and join in with the robot beat

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)
