In the court of Augustine the [A] 12th, the king reprimanded his men and demanded [D] they put to good use all his wealth [G] to cure his [A] deep-born wee.
[D] For you see, he found that he [G] was sad [E] and lonely [D] ever since.
His wife, the queen, [G] got mad and rode off on his steed.
[A]
[D] [F#] [G] [A]
[D] In a glen beyond the castle [A] wall, there was a tinker and he was a [D] thinker, the smartest man in all the world.
He made a [A] mechanical girl.
[D] For you see, his daughter [G] passed away [E] that summer and though he knew he could not [G] replace her, [A] he missed his [D] family.
[Gm]
[A] [Gm] Suddenly a knock at the door [D] went ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
[Gm] And the king's men came in blowing [D] horns, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
[Gm] By order of his highness, we're [D] to take you and that thing [A] to present your marvel to the king.
[D] And so, over [G] glen and through the [A] castle walls, [D] over the moat and into the [G] great castle hall, [A] when her master urged, the robot girl [D] emerged.
[G]
[D] [G] [Em]
[A] When the king laid eyes upon the girl, he was delighted.
His men all were [D] knighted.
He yelled aloud for all the world,
I'll take her [A] for my queen.
[D] And the man screamed, please don't [G] take my child.
[E] I beg you, [D] mighty king.
And he grabbed him [G] by his [A] tailcoat and threw him in [D] the moat.
[Gm]
[A] [G] Later in their wedding [D] bed, the king was shocked to see [G] a tender kiss upon the [D] cheek on leeched an armory.
[Gm] Rocket launchers and [D] flamethrowing guns grew from her [A] sides and she grew to seven times her size.
[D] Run!

[A] [D] morning of August [A] 24th, he was dejected when lest he [D] expected a knock was heard upon the [G] door.
It was his [A] robot girl, [D] for you see, he'd made her [G] [A] indestructible and [D] things and she destroyed that [G] awful kingdom [A] and they lived [D] happily.
So
[G] [A] [D] you see the moral of the story, [G] never [A] take a child away from [D] a loving parent,
[G] especially not [A] ones who make children [D] to shoot rockets from their [G] eyes.
