Lyrics for Mr. Lacey

Please Mr Lacey, let me work your loving machine Please Mr Lacey, let me work your loving machine Will you let me control the handles, You know it's the best thing I've ever seen Well Mr Lacey, where'd you learn just what to do? Well Mr Lacey, where'd you learn just what to do? Can you fix me up now with a teacher, I wanna become an inventor too Why Mr Lacey, why d'you do the things you do? Why Mr Lacey, why d'you do the things you do? It's true no one here understands now But maybe someday they'll catch up with you
