British Six Million Dollar Man

The title role of The Six Million Dollar Man was Steve Austin played by Lee Majors and was on TV from about 1974 for a good few years.
I'm going back over 30 years to 1977, the year of the Queen's Silver Jubilee, when, I recall, I was playing golf in a 4 ball (with neighbours I had met at our street party) and, between shots, I was composing, in my head, the following piece about Britain's answer to Steve Austin.

When I'm fully wound, I can hear the sound
Of a pin make a crater in the sand
And twenty miles away I can safely say
There's a sparrow coming down to land
My costume's red, white and blue
I'm British through and through
I'm a clockwork Superman


When my rocket crashed, they fixed me up
No expense, they said, was spared
I cost £2,000, including spare key
I can jump twenty feet in the air
I come with guarantee
And it's plain to see
I'm a clockwork Superman

Middle Eight

Bio-clockwork, tick tock, Two Grand Man
That's what I am
Doing what I can
No job is too tough for me
For the Queen (God bless her)
And the Countryyyy

If I 'm talking slow, you're sure to know
My clockwork's winding down
Wind me up but please take care
Where you put the keeeeeeey
But don't overwind
Or you'll find
I'm a clockwork.......
clockwork.....
clockwork.....
clockwork.....

clockwork.....

We lost the match and my partner blamed me...he said I wasn't concentrating!
