[Verse]
D
In the court of Augustine the 
Twelfth
    A
The king reprimanded his men
                  D
And demanded they put good use to 
all his wealth
   G             A
To cure his deep ennui
D                                
For you see he found that he was sad
G
 and lonely
     D                             
Ever since his wife, the queen got 
G       A               D
mad and rode off on his steed

[Verse]
     D
In a glen beyond the castle wall
A
There was a tinker, and he was a 
thinker
    D
The smartest man in all the world
   G                 A
He made a mechanical girl

D                               G
For you see his daughter passed away
 that summer
           D                   
And though he knew he could not 
   G             A
replace her, he missed his family

G                                 
Suddenly a knock at the door went 
D
ra-ta-ta-ta
        G                          
And the kingsmen came blowing horns
 D
 ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
    G                              
"By order of his highness we're to 
D
take you and that thing
A
To present your marvel to the king!"

D                    G           
And so over glen and through 
   A
castle walls
D                                
Over the moat and into the creat 
G
castle hall
A
When her master urged, the 
mechanical girl emerged

         D
When the king laid eyes on the girl
A
He was delighted, his men were all 
knighted
   D                               
He yelled for all the world, "I'll 
G               A
take her for my queen!"
    D                              
The man screamed, "Please don't 
     G        A              D
take my child, I beg you mighty 
king."
                         G         
And they took him by the tail coat 
    D
and threw him in hte moat

G                               D
Later in their wedding bed, the king
 was shocked to see
  G                         
A tender kiss upon the cheek 
   D
unleashed an armory
G                                 
Rocket launchers and flame 
  D
throwing guns grew from her sides
A
And she grew to seven times her size

[Verse]
       D
On the morn of august twenty-fourth
A
He was dejected when he least 
expected
  D                                
A knock was heard upon the door, it
 G             A
 was his robot girl
        D              
For you see he made her 
   G       A
indestructible
             D                 
It seems and she destroyed that 
       G
awful kingdom
F                         D  G  A
And they lived happily
D
So you see the moral of the story is
G            A                   
Never take a child from a loving 
D
parent
G                       A 
Especially not ones who make 
                D
children who shoot rockets from 
their eyes
