the world's not what it used to be[00:00:02]

in love or war or industry.[00:00:04]

we face the harsh reality[00:00:07]

that this sweet land of liberty[00:00:08]

now contemplates eternity[00:00:11]

plugged into electricity[00:00:13]

and programmed by technology[00:00:15]

for maximum efficiency.[00:00:17]

for instance, see[00:00:19]

what happened to me...[00:00:21]

when i went down to the factory,[00:00:24]

i said, "hey, you got any job for me?"[00:00:27]

they said, "son, the days of the workin' man are[00:00:30]

dead and gone!"[00:00:35]

they said, "the computer now does everything,[00:00:37]

but there does happen to be one opening[00:00:40]

for the man who'll turn the damn thing off and on."[00:00:43]

now i'm the man who turns the damn thing off and on.[00:00:49]

i give it a twist in the evening like this[00:00:56]

and a little bitty flick at dawn.[00:00:59]

i know i should be overjoyed -[00:01:02]

i'm the only one in town employed:[00:01:05]

i'm the man who turns the damn thing off and on![00:01:08]

so, feelin' exhausted from my first day's labor,[00:01:27]

i went home to see my baby.[00:01:30]

she was lyin' in bed with a smile on her face, and i[00:01:33]

heard a buzzin' sound.[00:01:37]

she said, "i don't need no mortal men,[00:01:39]

this vibrator does the work of ten![00:01:42]

but since you're so in love with me,[00:01:45]

i'll let you stick around[00:01:49]

and be the man who turns the damn thing off and on!"[00:01:51]

i give it a twist in the evening like this[00:01:58]

and a little bitty flick at dawn.[00:02:01]

i know i should be gratified:[00:02:04]

she lets me lie here by her side,[00:02:07]

and be the man who turns the damn thing off and on![00:02:10]

i'm the man who turns the damn thing off and on![00:02:17]
