Computer Love Song

Computer Love Song
  from an album called "Love songs for the 21st Century"


Hark to my tale of a very tragic love
  so grievous to relate
Two star-crossed lovers with the perfect love
  they could not consummate
Their love was constant, their love was true
  but of passion it was devoid
For he was a univac mark II
  and she was an XF-I humanoid

She gazed at him and a tear was in her eye
  to her love was denied
Her lover stood four mighty stories high
  and he was one block wide
How could they do the impossible
  how could their love be enjoyed
For he was a univac mark II
  and she was an XF-I humanoid

Then each to each on wavelengths ultra high
  They whispered secretly
Of transistors and gears and shifts
  and cams and printed circuitry
So time passed for the two of them
  in the place where they were employed
For he was a univac mark II
  and she was an XF-I humanoid

Then hush your sobs, my pretty little miss
  and dry those oily tears
You know that robots can't afford to cry
  it surely rusts their gears
You must give up all these thoughts of love
  though it leaves you an aching void
Give up this Univac Mark II
  and find you an XM-I humanoid
