Please mr lacey, let me work your lovely machine

Please mr lacey, let me work your lovely 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

Why mr lacey, why d’you do the things you do?
