Patent 8294

He's got a complicated life
So he had to leave another wife
Took a ship to go to France
It's one hell of a merry old dance

His Patent 8294
A sewing machine we all adore
In Paignton he lives in style
And his massive fortune makes him smile

He was born in New York state
Ran away from a home he'd grown to hate
With a travelling carnival he had some fun
Got married and divorced when he was young

His Patent 8294
A sewing machine we all adore
In Paignton he lives in style
And his massive fortune makes him smile

He asked George Bridgeman for a plan
For a mansion a big wigwam
Oldway mansion his grand design
Using bricks from Dorset to look so fine

In Paris he married Isabella
She couldn't resist such a tall fella
Isaac Merritt Singer is his name
An inventor and an actor he will claim

Of children he's got at least twenty
And in his will they'll get plenty
Of the money from patent 8294
And they'll live in style of that I'm sure
