         D5  x        C5   E♭5 F5
He's the latest super hero
     D5  x        C5    E♭5 F5
With powers so profound
       D5  x         C5   E♭5 F5  D5  x         C5  B♭5 
He can leap a dotted line in      just a single bound

A5  G5 B♭5  G5 A5  G5 B♭5  C5

I know you must have seen him
In the books and magazines
He's the quintessential mindless modern epicene

  D5  C5 B♭5  G5 C5
                     His life is meaningful
  D5  C5 B♭5  G5 C5
                     Because he gets things done
  D5  C5 B♭5  G5         C5
             (Bang bang)    Bang bang he's dead (bang bang he's dead)

        B♭5                        A5
  Chalk up another triumph for our hero
  The Automatic Man

D5  x  C5  E♭5 F5  x 4

It's true you must have met him                    (pas de x)
He's your best friend and your foe
His opinions are determined by the status quo

A5  G5 B♭5  G5 A5  G5 B♭5  C5

A true creature of habit
He smokes three packs a day
When he has an original thought he forgets it right away

A5  G5 B♭5  G5 A5       G5  B♭5 C5    D5
                   He's the Automatic Man

D5  C5 B♭5  G5 C5

D5   C5  B♭5         F5       G5
He's the paradigm of carefree living
D5   C5  B♭5       F5           G5  A5
He's our mentor, disturb him if you can
D5   C5  B♭5            F5               G5  
He's the answer if your peace of mind is lacking
D5   C5  B♭5        F5        G5  A5
He's our savior, he is the common man

    B♭5                        C5
And if you are troubled by the daily bump and grind
     B♭5                          A5
Then take another look around and brother you will find...
