Mr Lacey Lyrics - Sandy Denny

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, 

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
