COMPUTER LOVE SONG

from an album called "Love songs for the 21st Century"





Hark to my tale of a very tragic love

so grievous to relate

Two star-crossed lovers with the perfect love

they could not consummate

Their love was constant, their love was true

but of passion it was devoid

For he was a univac mark II

and she was an XF-I humanoid



She gazed at him and a tear was in her eye

to her love was denied

Her lover stood four mighty stories high

and he was one block wide

How could they do the impossible

how could their love be enjoyed

For he was a univac mark II

and she was an XF-I humanoid



Then each to each on wavelengths ultra high

They whispered secretly

Of transistors and gears and shifts

and cams and printed circuitry

So time passed for the two of them

in the place where they were employed

For he was a univac mark II

and she was an XF-I humanoid



Then hush your sobs, my pretty little miss

and dry those oily tears

You know that robots can't afford to cry

it surely rusts their gears

You must give up all these thoughts of love

though it leaves you an aching void

Give up this Univac Mark II

and find you an XM-I humanoid
