Lyrics Automation (Live) - Allan Sherman



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 --
Standing next to me, dear, where you used to be
Doesn't have your smile
Doesn't have your shape
Just a bunch of punch cards and light bulbs and tape, dear
You're a girl who's soft, warm and sweet
But you're only human and that's obsolete
Though I'm very fond of that new --, dear Automation's not for
Me
It was automation, I'm told That s why I got fired and I'm out in
The cold How could I have known When the --
Started in to blink it was winking at me, dear
I thought it was just some mishap
When it sidled over and sat on my lap
But when it said "l love you " and gave me a hug, dear
That's when I pulled out. .. it's plug
