Cm 
G 
Has it ever crossed your mind
Cm 
to ask yourself why
Mrs.
G 
Tea
Dm 
Talks
G 
Funny?
C 
G 
Have you never paused to wonder why the
Eb 
F 
G 
lady's so obsessed with saving cash?
Fm 
Cm 
Why she hates the working class is
C# 
Cm 
more with every day that passes
D 
G 
Will she one day up and vanish in a flash?
C 
Cm 
If you have, then I   would ask
G 
you to forgive her
She's only lately come to
Cm 
us from outer space
C 
She's a poor, deprived commuter who
Fm 
Ab 
was built by a computer
Fm 
G 
She's an android,
C 
G 
C 
G 
a stranger to the human race

Cm 
never been upset by

Thatcher's martial posture?
G 
Cm 
G 
Cm 
Have you listened to her laying down the law
F 
G 
and not been scared out of your skin?
Fm 
Heard her rattling her sabre,
C# 
Cm 
scaring all the friends and neighbours
D 
G 
She's impatient for the next war to begin
C 
Cm 
If you have them,
G 
show a little understanding
The way that she was programmed,
Cm 
it was really grim
C 
She was built to man the
Toll
Fm 
Shack in a region called the
Ab 
Coalsack
Fm 
G 
At  the very furthest edge of the
Cm 
G 
Cm 
galactic rim
G 
Cm 
G 
Have you never  had occasion to suspect
Cm 
G 
Cm 
G 
Cm 
when watching her speak on the telly?
G 
Cm 
G 
Cm 
I no  ticed the occasional wild look
F 
G 
and sudden glazing of the eye.
Fm 
Cm 
She looks spooked, bummed out and funky, yes,
C# 
Cm 
D 
and oddly like a junkie as the staff begins
G 
to send one up on high.
Cm 
If you have them,
G 
do not give way unto panic
She doesn't mean to scare you,
Cm 
it is just a game
C 
Just remember what you're seeing,
Fm 
it's not a normal human being
G 
C 
Though I grant you that it rather looks the same

G 
C 
G 
Terran
Or that
C 
Hazeltine and
G 
Cm 
Prentice both belong to
F 
G 
Homo sapiens, you're insane
Fm 
And you suf fer from
Cm 
C# 
delusions if you think
Sir
Cm 
Keith is hu  man
D 
Or behind those brooding
G 
Popeye's lurks a brain
C 
Cm 
G 
They are exiles from a far galactic cluster
They malfunction and were
Cm 
thrown out in disgrace
C 
They are made of wire and things and
Fm 
little wheels and bits of string
G 
They are androids, strangers to the human race
