Intro -x6-: C Am F G

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-

Interlude -x4-: C Am F G

           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

-G#solutely 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

Biography

Steam Powered Giraffe (SPG) is an American steampunk musical comedy project formed in San Diego in 2008, self-described as “a musical act that combines robot pantomime, puppetry, ballet, comedy, projections, and music”. Created and led by identical twins David Michael Bennett and Isabella “Bunny” Bennett, the act combines music and improvisational comedy on-stage, although their studio works focus almost solely on music.

Steam Powered Giraffe has its own fictional mythology
