| 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 5-0-3
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 5-0-3, 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 5-0-3
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. . . its
plug.
