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.

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

especially when you don't know what it's for.

that makes the engines roar.

I'll strike a blow for freedom just the same
