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.
