lyrics

Giant robot man
Just come from Japan
Polished bright and clean and new
You’re dreamy droid
Pseudo-humanoid
You’re a cyborg wish come true

How I love to see
Your technology
Oh, it’s you I get into
You’re a sight unseen
Metal mean machine
How I love that I’m with you

You are my robot man
Robot man
You are shiny, sleek and red
And you’re here to make my bed
You will sweep and cook and clean
Cause to you I am the queen

I was just a girl
In this scary world
And I took care of myself
But now you are here
With your cranks and gears
And I sure could use your help

I am strong and smart
With a fearless heart
Independent through and through
But I’d like a man
Or a metal can
To do the things I don’t want to

You are my robot man
Yes, you’re my robot man
You are never crude or cross
Cause you know that I’m the boss
Hang on to your microchip
It’s a real relationship
With my robot man

You are my robot man
Yes, you’re my robot man
You are my robot man
Robot man
You're designed to serve just me
From now to eternity
I am happy as can be
Now that you are here with me
You're my robot man
