[Verse 1]
Machines on their way home
It seems that work is over
Since work went well
They sing the song of work
Oho-hohoho - Work is good!
Oho-hohoho - Work is nice!
[Verse 2]
Now they're tired from drudgery
They recover with image and sound
Some of them are drawn to the pub
There they sing the drinker's song
Oho-hohoho - Drinking makes you brave!
Oho-hohoho - Drinking sets you free!
[Chorus]
The new machines
The new machines
The new machines
The new machines
[Verse 3]
Tomorrow is a holiday
A day without toil and labour
Thе hero of work is being elеcted
The heart of steel is being freshly steeled
Oho-hohoho - Celebrating is nice!
Oho-hohoho - But work earns wages!
(The new machines!)
[Chorus]
The new machines
The new machines
The new machines
The new machines
[Post-Chorus]
Don't destroy the machines
They know what they do
Don't destroy the machines
They know what they do
Don't destroy the machines
They know what they do
Don't destroy the machines
They know what they do
Don't destroy the machines
They know what they do
Don't destroy the machines
They know what they do
Don't destroy the machines
They know what they do
Don't destroy the machines
They know what they do
[Verse 4]
Machines on their way home
It seems the party is over
Work is not yet done
It starts over tomorrow
Oho-hohoho - Work is good!
Oho-hohoho - Work makes you rich!
