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!
