Richard Thompson

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
