In the hands of science ---

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 [bad word] 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.
