Ian Anderson - Automotive Engineering lyrics

In the hands of science --- The complete appliance We're moved to motor Do you fly a Spitfire? Do you slide on a tea-tray? Or walk on a short trip (Sundays) Or drive come what may (enjoy) Automotive science and engineering When big was better --- And fast was chic The oil was cheaper --- Now we're up the creek But the Japs are coming And everyone's turbo'd And carbon fibre Is the way to go, go Down at the robot factory Things are humming New radical suspension --- No humans testing (Wind it up, wind it up.) Take a trip In your Freudian slip Doctor Ferdinand (Ferdie) Has you in his grip
