The Homework Machine, oh the Homework Machine, Most perfect contraption that's ever been seen. Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime, Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds' time, Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be. Here it is-"nine plus four?" and the answer is "three." [Instrumental break] Three? [Instrumental break] Oh me ... I guess it's not as perfect As I thought it would be.
