Mr. Mercury, (U.S. patent No. 55453xx54), a cast iron steam machine, Made the morning tea for the Admiral Gabardine Went out on an errand, but came back too late The runabout was idling behind the gate Mr. Mercury, his dials and his springs Set out for Mr. Quick (U.S. patent No. 353480723x0894) By following the oil slick Mr. Mercury, why did they all leave? Could it be I wonder, a strange disease? Because everybody's gone The house is empty and the silence is killing me The moon was overheard And the city streets were dead They heard a soft alarm That was set by Mr. Arm (patent pending) Mr. Mercury, why did they all leave? Could they be, I wonder, all overseas? 'Cause everybody's gone The town is empty and the silence is killing me "Follow me. I will take you to the admiral. He will tell us what to do."
