Don Gibson - Automatic mama

^GI filled the house with gadgets so you’d ^D7never have to slave And now you’re out two-timing me with ^Gtime I helped you save

The place is full of buttons that you ^Cpush for every chore But ^D7when you push your pop around you won’t push ^Ganymore

Automatic Mama you ^D7operate too fast Slow down you’ll wind up with your ^Gheart in a cast

Automatic Mama be ^Ccareful what you do ^D7Those new contraptions will be the death of ^Gyou

I bought a handy gadget that leaves ^D7dishes high and dry And keeps your hands like velvet for some ^Gother lucky guy

I found another gadget to ^Cspeed up the kitchen stove Now ^D7papa knows what’s cooking and he’s burning while you ^Grove

Automatic Mama you ^D7operate too fast Slow down you’ll wind up with your ^Gheart in a cast

Automatic Mama be ^Ccareful what you do ^D7Those new contraptions will be the death of ^Gyou

That new electric washer made your ^D7headaches disappear You used to hang out washing now you ^Ghang out drinking beer

Your fancy vacuum cleaner picks ^Cup dirt the easy way But ^D7I picked up some dirt myself here’s all I got to ^Gsay

Automatic Mama you ^D7operate too fast Slow down you’ll wind up with your ^Gheart in a cast

Automatic Mama be ^Ccareful what you do ^D7Those new contraptions will be the death of ^Gyou
