It was the first album that Waits produced himself and is marked as such by a sense of artistic freedom that would increasingly characterize his later work.

Swordfishtrombones peaked at #164 on Billboard's Pop Albums and Billboard 200 albums chart. In 1989, Spin Magazine named Swordfishtrombones the second greatest album of all time.

Tom Waits Lyrics
Rattle big black bones in the danger zone
There's a rumblin' groan down below
There's a big dark town, it's a place I've found
There's a world going on underground
They're alive, they're awake
While the rest of the world is asleep
Below the mineshaft roads it will all unfold
There's a world going on underground
All the roots hang down
Swing from town to town
They are marching around down under your boots
All the trucks unload
Beyond the gopher holes
There's a world going on underground

Rattle big black bones
In the danger zone
There's a rumblin' groan
Down below
There's a big dark town
It's a place i've found
There's a world going on
Underground
They're alive, they're awake
While the rest of the world is asleep
Below the mine shaft roads
It will all unfold
There's a world going on
Underground
All the roots hang down
Swing from town to town
They are marching around
Down under your boots
All the trucks unload
Beyond the gopher holes
There's a world going on
Underground
Fuck-A-Doodle-Do!

Rattle big black bones

There's a rumblin' groan
Down below
There's a big dark town
It's a place i've found
There's a world going on

They're alive, they're awake
While the rest of the world is asleep
Below the mine shaft roads
It will all unfold
There's a world going on
Underground
All the roots hang down
Swing from town to town
They are marching around
Down under your boots
All the trucks unload
Beyond the gopher holes
There's a world going on

The Untitled Random Junk
Madame Gasket: ”Alright! Break Time...”
Every Single Worker: “Huh?!”
Madame Gasket: “Alright, Break Time is over! Chop, Chop! (Laughs) Oh, look who’s here!”
Ratchet: “Hi, Mom.”
Madame Gasket: “Hi, Sweetie! How’s my boy?”
Ratchet: ”Great! I did just what you told me; “no more spare parts”. In a couple of weeks, all of those broken down losers out there are gonna be nothing, but scrap metal! You will be up to your bloomers in broken outmode junk!
Madame Gasket: “Such a good boy! And after you finish off Bigweld, there will be nobody out there to fix them.”
Ratchet: ”Exactly! …Y-You want to swing that one by me again?”
Madame Gasket: ”Idiot! Those outmodes look up to him. Suppose he decides to come back!”
Ratchet: “Oh come on, Mom! He’s not gonna be in any trouble, where he is.”
Madame Gasket: “What are you afraid of?! Grow some bolts! Or do you want to end up like your father?”
Mr. Gasket: ”Hey, Son! Good to see you.”
Madame Gasket: “Think what it would mean. Not Bigweld Industries- Ratchet Industries!”
Ratchet: “Keep talking.”
Madame Gasket: ”Ratchet City!”
Ratchet: Yes. Everything... shiny.”
Madame Gasket: “No more Bigweld… No more outmodes!”
Ratchet: ”LEEEEEEEEEETTT’S do it!”
Madame Gasket: “That’s my boy!”
(“Underground” continues to play, as they both dance for a brief moment)
Madame Gasket: “Are you hungry? Can I get you something? You look thin...”
Ratchet: “No, no, no, Mom. I gotta go, bye! Oh, bye Pop.”
Mr. Gasket: ”So long, son. Good luck with your dastardly plans.”
(“Underground” plays once again, as the scene transitions to Rodney in a trash can)

I just decided to put the lyrics through Google Translate......
.....let me just show you:
The big server is inseparable from the black bones
The danger zone
There is a rumblin, whining
below
There is a big dark house
I discovered that it exists
It exists in the world
underground
There are lives that are awake
While the rest of the world is asleep
With spear ways;
Everything will unfold
It exists in the world
underground
Depend on all the roots
the swing
Then they moved
The start is
All banana landings
How much of the wood of its openings
It exists in the world
underground

I never thought it was an actual song, from an actual artist. I thought they were at the studio like “okay how would robots sing a song of slavery?”

The song it's very VERY old, don't trust on the "upload On 2020"

@Yume Well, If I recall, that scene had animations that were syncronized to the beat of the song. So that is some solid evidense that they made that scene to for the music!
