Skyhooks - Trouble With The Computer lyrics

Macainsh Went down to the bank to make a deposit yesterday The system just went haywire began to overpay Ten too many zeros on my sixty dollars cash There I was like Howard Hughes a tycoon in a flash Trouble with the computer perhaps a faulty switch Maybe it just likes me and wants to make me rich Gas bill came this morning I was making toast I like the odd hot shower and sometimes Sunday roast But we'd all sell our houses and go and live in tents If the gas bill came to four grand and ninety seven cents Trouble with the computer its' memories gone black Lucky I refused to pay I've got myself to thank Trouble with the computer happens every day So much for brainpower IBM is here to stay So if you take that plane to Sydney and end up in Taiwan The automatic pilot he's done something wrong If your ice cream tastes like tooth paste And a milk horse wins the race Computer's lost its logic and it's started to erase Trouble...Trouble...Trouble...Trouble... Somewhere someday some smart guy Will turn around and shout Give me a pen and paper and I can work it out But till then we are stuck With computers going wrong And if this verse sounds out of tune A computer wrote this song Trouble with the computer that's what the man said Some kind of random error the light is glowin' red Trouble with the computer the machine will not obey So much for brainpower IBM is here to stay
