Lyrics

Well friends you know once I was took in
By a girl with a twinkly eye
But the first time that I wasn't lookin'
She ran off with a handsomer guy, oh my

But I'm 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
She's my ever lovin' machine

She's always right there when I need her
And she's 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 ain't 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
She's 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 she'll 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...
