Dm C A♯ A

Verse

 VDmerdigris Patina was a pCeaceful little town

 The hA♯ome of Wilbur Redpot, finest cAoppersmith around

 He was fDmamous for his products, as they sCold extremely well

 CompA♯etitors were livid as their buAsiness income fell

 Now, AlDmexander Copperplate, a mCan from out of town,

 DeclA♯ared his gang was coming soon to sAhoot poor Wilbur down

 The tDmown was in a panic, they knew sComething should be done

 And they A♯had till moArning sDmun!

Chorus

 So sDmaddle up your steam-bike and pA♯ut your goggles on

 We've gFot to be prepared or else we'll Aall be dead by dawn

 CDmopperplate is coming, and his A♯eyes are seeing red,

 And he's A♯after 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!
