Computer took my job away from me Computer took my job away from me I was at work that mornin' When the big trucks came With the big machines inside My boss had us all gather 'round He said "the computers gonna make, they gonna make your work easier Don't you worry 'bout a thing" But don't you know, don't you know When the work is too easy Lord they don't need you no more Computer took my job away from me Then the layoffs came Puttin' good people out of work For some people it's the only work they know Twenty long years I worked I tried to live right And they take it all away Give the work back to the people We don't need a handout Computer took my job away from me Computer took my job away from me Play organ now... [organ solo by Leo Davis] Oh yea Seems like your best just ain't good enough Give me my job Give me back my job Don't you let, don't you let the computer take it all away Oh can't you see Can't you see I need Can't you see I need, need my job Computer took my job away from me (What you say, sonny?) Computer took my job away from me Computer took my job away I need it baby Give the work back to the people We don't need a handout Don't take my job away Hmmmm...

Wanna be your spy I wanna be your private eye Wanna be your spy baby, Wanna be your private eye Wanna take care of your undercover business for you Ooh Lord just wanna take care of you And be your spy Gotta be your private eye Come here baby Gotta investigate Under the cover Wanna be bigger than Watergate Please don't confuse me With the facts I go by gut feeling And I like it like that! Wanna be your spy Wanna be your private eye (let me tell you baby) Wanna be your spy Wanna be your private eye I wanna take care of your undercover business for you Ooh Lord just wanna take care of you And be your spy Baby gotta be your private eye That double-oh-seven He's outdated But I'm the real thing baby I'm gold plated That old guy Columbo, I gotta tell you baby, he's got to go And be your spy I wanna be your private eye (I know I've told you before) Wanna be your spy baby Wanna be your private eye I wanna take care of your undercover business for you Ooh Lord just wanna take care of you And be your spy Baby gotta be your private eye I don't think about Yesterday's news I'm out here making Tomorrow's news I never get held up because of the weather I won't cancel out, no no never I wanna be your spy Wanna be your private eye (let me tell ya) I wanna be your spy baby Wanna be your private eye I wanna take care of your undercover business for you Ooh Lord just wanna take care of you And be your spy Baby gotta be your private eye I don't want it to be a shock I just wanna trigger your nature clock It's time for lovin', oh yeah Said it's time for lovin', oh yeah I wanna be your spy!
