| Lyrics: | Mechanical bliss is striking me for what I believe in
A ribbon on the line, and getting in and
getting out
Huh, huh, huh ...... huh, huh huh
Was not like this
No,
mechanical bliss was not like this at all
The ribbon on the line, and getting in and getting
out was not like this
Was not like this, was not like this
Caruthers and Smith said
that they couldn't come at all
They said that their backs were up against the wall
And
getting in and getting out was not like this
Was not like this, was not like this
But a flash of the list, the flick of a switch
A flick of a switch, you gave me a
kiss, I couldn't resist
No ooooooooooooooo mechanical bliss
Now Ponsonby-Smith said
he really didn't care
About Neville and Chippy who really wasen't there
And getting in and
getting out was not like this
Was not like this
He's out in the sun, he's sucking
his thumb
He's talking to hum Ahhhhhhhh mechanical bliss
Mechanical bliss will not
like this, mechanical bliss was not like this at all
The ribbon on the line and getting in and
getting out was not like this
Was never, never like this
I couldn't resist the
flash of the list
A flick of the switch, the lisp
He talked in a lisp
You gave me a
kiss,
You talked in a lisp
You talked in a liiiiiii eh eh eh sp
Mechanical bliss
Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
Nah, nah, nah, nah nah
Dah, da , dah, dah, dah, dah
do
SCAT!
Dah, da , dah, dah, dah, dah do
O.K. Chaps, stiff upper lip!
