歌曲歌詞

The world's not what it used to be

In love or war or industry.

We face the harsh reality

That this sweet land of liberty

Now contemplates eternity

Plugged into electricity

And programmed by technology

For maximum efficiency.

For instance, see

What happened to me...

When I went down to the factory,

I said, "Hey, you got any job for me?"

They said, "Son, the days of the workin' man are

Dead and gone!"

They said, "The computer now does everything,

But there does happen to be one opening

For the man who'll turn the damn thing off and on."

Now I'm the man who turns the damn thing off and on.

I give it a twist in the evening like this

And a little bitty flick at dawn.

I know I should be overjoyed -

I'm the only one in town employed:

I'm the man who turns the damn thing off and on!

So, feelin' exhausted from my first day's labor,

I went home to see my baby.

She was lyin' in bed with a smile on her face, and I

Heard a buzzin' sound.

She said, "I don't need no mortal men,

This vibrator does the work of ten!

But since you're so in love with me,

I'll let you stick around

And be the man who turns the damn thing off and on!"

I give it a twist in the evening like this

And a little bitty flick at dawn.

I know I should be gratified:

She lets me lie here by her side,

And be the man who turns the damn thing off and on!

I'm the man who turns the damn thing off and on!
