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.
