lyrics

I was traveling across the universe, in my space ship, all alone,
When I found a planet in the circumsteller habitable zone,

I am from robotopia a place of just machines
so I had to take a closer look at this planet of blue and green

I landed in the jungle do you know what I found?
Humans in a circle, making noises, dancing round!

[Break]

I took a liking to these Humans a had to have one as a pet,
They would keep me company as a got to where I had to get,

I grabbed a great big strong one and took it up in to space,
but it started making choking noises and went red in the face,

It stopped emitting any sound and went completely limp,
I turns out that humans need air to breathe and there was none on my ship,

I didn’t know that,
‘Cause I’m just a robot,
I didn’t know that,
Humans had to breathe,

That lifeless sack of human bones turned out to me no fun,
So I thought I’d go back down to earth and get myself another one,

I found one with pleasing curves and long black curly hair,
before we left I made sure that we had plenty of air,

It could breath just fine but what do you know my friend was still condemned,
It when straight from hypothermia to the bitter frozen end,

I didn’t know that,
‘Cause I’m just a robot,
I didn’t know that,
Humans could freeze,

Third time lucky or so they say, I had to try again,
I was desperate to have on board my ship a cute little human friend,

I chose another, continued my journey, and things were fine for a while,
We enjoyed a happy week together and it made me robo-smile,

But again it started acting strange, it’s system was shutting down,
It grew thin and weak and was a bore to be around,

What in space is going on? I made sure there was air and heat,
I did not realise that humans needed to eat!

I didn’t know that
‘Cause I’m just a robot
I didn’t know that
Humans had to eat (and drink)

[I give up, lets take it to the bridge, I said lets take it to the bridge, BEEEEEEP!]

I continued with my journey on my lonely robo-ship,
I’d have to come and grab another man on my next robo-trip

10,000 years later, i’m in the sector, lets give this another try,
I’ve air and heat and food to eat, this time i’ll do it right

I’ve landed in a city and its full of technology!
Maybe now the humans can talk to the machines,

Ill ask them what it is they need to stay alive,
I’ll go and have little beep with the first human I can find

Beep Beep, Beep, Beep Beep - But they didn’t understand me?!
Beep Beep, Beep, Beep Beep - Thats what I said

So I gave them some of this...

I didn’t know that
‘Cause I’m just a robot
I didn’t know that
Humans couldn’t beep
