C G C G
I can't pretend to be a great celebrity,
C Am Dm G
but still, I'm quite important in me way.
C G C G
The job I have to do may not sound much to you
C Am Dm G7
but all the same, I'm very proud to say
C Em Am
I'm the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
Em F G
that holds the ring that drives the rod that turns the knob
C
on the thing-ummy-bob.
C Em Am
I'm the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
Em F G
that oils the ring that takes the shank that moves the crank
C
on the thing-ummy-bob.

It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob
D D7 G G7
especially when you don't know what it's for.
C Em Am
But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole

that makes the engines roar.

I'm not what you would call a heroine at all,
C Am Dm G
I don't suppose you'd even know me name.

But though I'll never boast of my important post,
D D7 G G7
I'll strike a blow for freedom just the same

It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob
