The cottage itself is on the northernmost edge of an immense forest and the appliances have grown used to seasonal use, with some of the master's other appliances (such as the black and white television set, the blender, the oral irrigator, the telephone, the stereo system and the world clock) annually returning to the city with their master each Labor Day. As the oldest, the vacuum cleaner is steady and dependable, the plastic AM radio alarm clock, the yellow electric blanket (cheerful), the tensor lamp stand (somewhat neurotic whether it, as an incentive from a savings bank, was better than a store-bought equivalent) and the sunbeam toaster (bright). Microwave: Hey, I can bake your biscuits, too./ Pop some dough, boy, out for you./I'm micro-solid state and that's no static!Ĭhorus: More, more, more!/ Everything you wanted and more!/More, more, more!/ We're the bytes and chips to call./You just have yourself a ball./ It's all hyperactive on the edge!/From LEDs to CRTs,/ Woofers, tweeters, antenna trees,/ And ultra-nylon life of ease.The story opens with a description of five members of a family of minor home appliances left in the cottage, listed from oldest to youngest. Mixer: If you want a lean machine/ To whip you up some mean cuisine,/I'm on ze scene, totally automatic. Plugsy: Any time or place you wish,/You might meet up with some dish./Pull yourself together on the edge! Sewing Machine: Let me tell you what it's for./Here's the printout with the score./Get yourself together on the edge.Ĭhorus: You want to go to old Rio De Janeiro, my dear?/You want to join in any Club Paradise?/You'd really rather stay at home, where the picture is clear./You get it on the stereo./And you don't even have to go./More, more, more!/ Everything you wanted and more!/More, more, more!
Phone: With fiber optics cast in plastic/For natural sights and sound fantastic./Just reach out and talk to your dear old Uncle Emery!Ĭomputer: Everything you wanted and more. Chorus: Since you came here uninvited/We all knew you'd be delighted./This is not the time or place to hedge./ No one here would be so bold to,/But since you asked and no one's told you,/Let us take you to the cutting edge!Ĭomputer: I can process words, accounting too./And my pixel screen displays for you./Computer graphics locked into your memory.
