The experiments of course prove a success

My friends step right up, I have brought you a thing,
C G
Why it's a miracle process that you will never believe
D A
Your grandma, your parents, your child, I say who
C G
Yes whomever you've lost I can bring back to you
D A
You doubt me of course, think I'm out of head
C G
But this week I'll choose 5 folks and bring back their dead
D A
And I'll put them in quality, mechanical dolls
C G
Life sized, yes for free and you'll see it's not talk
[Interlude] Bm A C G (x2)
D A
My friends, can you hear me, the crowd's grown so big
C G
And these orders, why I'll tell you I barely know how to keep
D A
Up with, so I must tell you, I'm building a store
C G
Where your dead ones can be brought to you folks once more
D A
With all this success I can offer new deals
C G
Their bodies now come in different colors and feels
D A
Like mahogany, lilac, and deep oaken red
C G
Seven models to choose from to fit your dear dead
[Interlude] Bm A C G (x2)
D A
Gentlemen welcome, will the board please sit down
C G
our profits this quarter are almost beyond count
D A
We're opening new factories, starting new ads
C G
We're making our fortunes, so I've one thing to ask
D A
There's a man they call Sillof and he once stole my girl
C G
I want him destroyed, all he has in this world
D A
His business his home and his carriage all crushed
C G
I want him left penniless, face down in the dust

All your intentions take their toll

All you hate enthralls your soul

When you win you sometimes lose

And all you love does not love you (x2)
D A
Fay, good to see you. I asked you here so
C G
You could listen to what I want to offer to you
D A
That man who you left me for, you know he's in ruins
C G
A broken down wreck, but Fay my fortune booms
D A
And I have a surprise, your dear long dead dad
C G
I have taken the liberty of bringing him back
D A
He sits now in my parlor, but Fay the only way
C G
You can see him or talk to him is to come back and stay.
