Well friends you know once I was took in
By a girl with a twinkly eye
But the first time that I wasnt lookin
She ran off with a handsomer guy, oh my
But Im an inventin type feller
So as soon as my brain got uncurled
I tiptoed right down to my cellar
And built a mechanical girl
Oh her arms are iron, her legs are steel
Her hips are on wires, attached to a wheel
And her spine is a coil that I now and then oil
Shes my ever lovin machine
Shes always right there when I need her
And shes very easy to please
And hardly cost nothing to feed her
Just some water and oil and grease
She never complains when I stay out all night
She never complains that I aint rich
And each time I want her just to cuddle me up tight
I just reach out and turn on her switch
Oh her arms are iron, her legs are steel
Her hips are on wires attached to a wheel
And her spine is a coil that I now and then oil
Shes my ever lovin machine
She has no trouble makin her mind up
Cause friends, I did not give her a mind
And her heart is a clock that I wind up
So I know that shell love me in time
She always did what she was supposed to
Right up to this evening but then
She had an affair with the toaster
And they ran off and left me again
Oh her arms were iron her arms were iron
Her legs were steel her legs were steel
Her hips were on wires her hips were on wires
Attached to a wheel attached to a wheel
And her spine was a coil that I used to oil
She was my ever lovin machine…
