I got mad at myself today
I found out I can't dance for Jack
I've been wearin' out all my shoes
Just workin' on moves and rhythm
But I've never been good at that
♪
My pockets are full of holes
Where my money once used to be at
I oughta be better at managing my finances but
I've never been good at that
So I was planning a new invention
That would take away all my blues
But I sold the blueprint for some money to

I am the mechanical wind up man, yay
I keep going as far as I can, yay
I don't know when I should stop, yay
I guess I'll go until I drop, yay-yay

The sunny day rain comes down
'Cause the devil's been beatin' his wife
Someday that woman oughta have that man arrested but
She's never been good at that

I don't know when I should stop, yay
I guess I'll go until I drop, yay-yay

But I've already bet and rolled the dice, yay!
I am the mechanical wind up man, yay
I keep going as far as I can, yay
I don't know when I should stop, yay
I guess I'll go until I drop, yay
It's alright I'm feelin' good, yay
Wheels and parts are workin' just like they should, yay
I am the mechanical wind up man, yay
I keep going as far as I can
