[Big Band Intro] Ladies and gentlemen, Step right up and take a peek! We've got a prediction for the future, And it's simply magnifique! [Verse] In the year two-thousand-twenty, Not so very far away, Every home's gonna have a robot Helping out throughout the day. They'll cook your eggs and butter toast, They'll shine your shoes with pride, They'll fold your laundry perfectly And drive you for a ride! [Chorus] Oh, the robots of the twenty-twenties, They're gonna swing and they're gonna shine! Metal fellas and chrome-made ladies, Keeping everything in line! We'll be living high and easy, Life'll be a grand old scene! Thanks to those electric dreamers, The smartest gadgets ever seen! [Verse] You'll press a button in the morning, And your breakfast will appear, Your robot butler's punctual And cheerful all the year. He'll tell a joke, he'll mow the lawn, He'll know just what to do, He might even play the saxophone A little better than you! [Chorus] Oh, the robots of the twenty-twenties, They're gonna swing and they're gonna shine! Metal fellas and chrome-made ladies, Keeping everything in line! We'll be dancing through the decades, Like we're living in a dream, Thanks to those fantastic robots And their marvelous machine! [Bridge] Imagine every factory Running night and day, While mechanical assistants Do the heavy lifting, hey! No more chores and no more fuss, No more tedious routine, We'll spend our days relaxing In a bright futuristic scene! [Instrumental Break] (Horn section) [Verse] Perhaps they'll write a novel, Perhaps they'll paint a masterpiece, Perhaps they'll help us build a world Of comfort, joy, and peace. They'll answer every question, They'll know a million things, And maybe they'll accompany us When the whole band swings! [Final Chorus] Oh, the robots of the twenty-twenties, They're gonna swing and they're gonna shine! Metal fellas and chrome-made ladies, Keeping everything in line! Here's to tomorrow's wonder, To the future bright and clean, And the marvelous age of robots We've all imagined and foreseen! [Outro] So raise a glass to progress, And give the future a cheer! We'll see those robots any day now... Well... Probably around here!
