I once knew a girl with a heart of gold Two legs of copper and arms of chrome The prettiest girl I ever knew I loved each rivet, bolt and screw
Shiny locks of wire hair And copper plating everywhere There was no doubt she had to be The one and only girl for me
But she was the daughter of a mean old man, An inventor who just wouldn't let her go And though his creation had grown fond of me, His continual responses told me no
So we made a plan to elope that day We packed our kisses to the far away I went to her window late that night And she was ready for our flight
I was happy as I could be When she wrapped her tiny metal arms round me And with a propeller sticking from her head We switched it on and fled!
But her father was a crazy man And he didn't want to let us get away He was able to pull us from the sky that night With a powerful magnetic ray
So he took my girl from me And shunned me for eternity He locked her up inside a room As cold and awful as a tomb
And though I am consumed with rage I know that man is up in age And soon as he is finally dead Then she and I will wed!
