Van Dyke Parks
Cutting Edge
[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
I can process words, accounting too
In my pixel screen displays for you
Computer graphics locked into your memory
With fiber optics cast in plastic
For natural sights and sounds fantastic
Just reach out and talk to your dear old Uncle Emery
[Chorus]
More! More! More!
Everything you wanted and more
More! More! More!
Let me tell you what it's for
Here's the printout with the score
Get yourself together on the edge
[Bridge]
Ooh-wah-ooh (Bah, bah, bah)
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
[Chorus]
More! More! More!
Everything you wanted and more
More! More! More!
Any time or place you wish
You might meet up with some dish
Pull yourself together on the edge
[Verse 2]
If you want a lean machine
To whip you up some mean cuisine
I'm on the scene, totally automatic
Hey, I can bake your biscuits, too
Pop some Doughboy out for you
I'm micro solid-state and that's no static
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
From LEDs to CRTs
Woofers, tweeters, antenna trees
An ultra-nylon life of ease
Everything you dreamed of on the edge
And more
