Expect script not passing password / commands ??

Newbie here. My goal is to have the expect script log into the Ubuntu 18.04 server and run two commands (lsb_release -a and ip addr) and eventually pipe the output/results to a file. For now, I would be happy to get this one command or two to run successfully. How to fix this?

Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect 
set timeout 60 
spawn ssh admin@192.168.1.12
expect " admin@192.168.1.12's password: " 
send " admin\r" 
expect " admin@server1:~$ " 
send " \r" 
expect " admin@server1:~$ "
send " lsb_release -a "
expect " admin@server1:~$ "

Error: I get the password prompt but the script isn't passing the password (??)
Code:
admin@server1:~$ expect test.exp
spawn ssh admin@192.168.1.12
admin@192.168.1.12's password:

Normal response/output using "ssh -l" from the cli.
Code:
admin@server1:~$ ssh -l admin 192.168.1.12
admin@192.168.1.12's password:
Welcome to Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-45-generic x86_64)

... misc output here
