Automatic Mama

G                                        D7
I filled the house with gadgets so you’d never have to slave

                                      G
And now you’re out two-timing me with time I helped you save

                                      C
The place is full of buttons that you push for every chore

    D7                                           G
But when you push your pop around you won’t push anymore

Automatic Mama you operate too fast

                                   G
Slow down you’ll wind up with your heart in a cast

                  C
Automatic Mama be careful what you do

D7                                          G
Those new contraptions will be the death of you


                                    D7
I bought a handy gadget that leaves dishes high and dry

                                          G
And keeps your hands like velvet for some other lucky guy

                          C
I found another gadget to speed up the kitchen stove

    D7                                                   G
Now papa knows what’s cooking and he’s burning while you rove

That new electric washer made your headaches disappear

                                     G
You used to hang out washing now you hang out drinking beer

                                C
Your fancy vacuum cleaner picks up dirt the easy way

    D7                                               G
But I picked up some dirt myself here’s all I got to say
