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

G D7

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

D7 G

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

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

D7 G

Those new contraptions will be the death of you

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

D7 G

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

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

D7 G

Those new contraptions will be the death of you

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

D7 G

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

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

D7 G

Those new contraptions will be the death of you
