Automatic Mama

[Verse 1]
I filled the house with gadgets so you'd never have to slave
And now you're out two-timing me with time I helped you save
The place is full of buttons that you push for every chore
But when you push your pop around you won't push anymore

[Chorus]
Automatic Mama you operate too fast
Slow down you'll wind up with your heart in a cast
Automatic Mama be careful what you do
Those new contraptions will be the death of you

[Verse 2]
I bought a handy gadget that leaves dishes high and dry
And keeps your hands like velvet for some other lucky guy
I found another gadget to speed up the kitchen stove
Now papa knows what's cooking and he's burning while you rove

[Chorus]
Automatic Mama you operate too fast
Slow down you'll wind up with your heart in a cast
Automatic Mama be careful what you do
Those new contraptions will be the death of you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
That new electric washer made your headaches disappear
You used to hang out washing now you hang out drinking beer
Your fancy vacuum cleaner picks up dirt the easy way
But I picked up some dirt myself here's all I got to say

[Chorus]
Automatic Mama you operate too fast
Slow down you'll wind up with your heart in a cast
Automatic Mama be careful what you do
Those new contraptions will be the death of you
