Allan Sherman - Automation Lyrics
AUTOMATION(Alan Sherman) It was automation, I know That was what was making the factory go It was IBM It was Univac It was all those gears going Clickity clack, dear I thought automation was keen Till you were replaced by a ten-ton machine It was a computer that tore us apart, dear Automation broke my heart.There's an RCA 5-0-3Standing next to me, dear, where you used to beDoesn't have your smileDoesn't have your shape,Just a bunch of punch cards and light bulbs and tape, dearYou're a girl who's soft, warm and sweetBut you're only human and that's obsoleteThough I'm very fond of that new 5-0-3, dear Automation's not forme.It was automation, I'm told That s why I got fired and I'm out inthe cold How could I have known When the 5-0-3Started in to blink it was winking at me, dearI thought it was just some mishapWhen it sidled over and sat on my lapBut when it said "l love you " and gave me a hug, dearThat's when I pulled out. . . its plug.Copyright 1963 Curtain Call Productionstune: Fascination@computer @parodyfilename[ AUTOMTNRG===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY
