The Copper War
Intro: Dm C Bb A
Verse:
VDmerdigris Patina was a pCeaceful little town
The hBbome of Wilbur Redpot, finest cAoppersmith around
He was fDmamous for his products, as they sCold extremely well
CompBbetitors were livid as their buAsiness income fell
Now, AlDmexander Copperplate, a mCan from out of town,
DeclBbared his gang was coming soon to sAhoot poor Wilbur down
The tDmown was in a panic, they knew sComething should be done
And they Bbhad till moArning sDmun!
Chorus:
So sDmaddle up your steam-bike and pBbut your goggles on
We've gFot to be prepared or else we'll Aall be dead by dawn
CDmopperplate is coming, and his Bbeyes are seeing red,
And he's Bbafter WiAlbur's Dmhead!
The townsfolk got together and they figured out a plan
They knew they'd have to do their best to save their fellow man
And, though they had no weapons, they all had a lot of brains:
They'd build machines to leave their villain in a world of pain!
So Wilbur brought the copper, old Frank supplied the steel;
Bob and Sue had extra chains, and Tommy brought the wheels;
They knew they'd have a chance with these, they knew they'd win the fight,
And they worked all through the night!
So saddle up your steam-bike and put your goggles on
We've got to be prepared or else we'll all be dead by dawn
Copperplate is coming and his eyes are seeing red,
And he's after Wilbur's head!
Verse III:
(1 semitone upper)
Well CoD#mpperplate arrived at dawn, he staC#yed true to his word
But the tBown was deathly silent, not a sA#oul was to be heard
He yelled out, "Redpot! Come on out, and fight me like a man!"
And that was when the churning and the chugging sounds began
An army of the townsfolk soon poured out into the street
Each of them on steam-bikes, and they all were packing heat
They had his men surrounded, there was fear on every face
And they pBut them A#in their plD#ace!
Chorus:
PoD#mwer up your steam-bike, let's shoBw 'em who's in charge
We've gF#ot our ropes and grappling hooks and weA#apons to discharge
CoD#mpperplate is panicked and his fBace is turning white
And we're gBonna wA#in this fD#might!
That's right! Let's go!
Now power down your steam-bike, we finally took 'em down
We strung 'em up and licked 'em good and ran them out of town
Verdigris Patina is a peaceful town once more
And we won the Copper War!
Hyah!
