Lyrics

Verse 1

I'm a little robot

One wheel squeaks

My feelers are both broken

My battery acid leaks

There's a band aid on my panel

My paint's a little peeled

But I'm guarding Michael's bedroom while he's sleeping.

Verse 2

I'm a little robot

One arm's bent

I used to have a ray gun

I don't know where it went

My lights have all stopped flashing

My head is falling off

But I'm guarding Michael's bedroom while he's sleeping.

Verse 3

I'm a little robot

I've lost one ear

My siren has stoped blaring

I'm stuck in second gear

My motor's making noises

My tyres have no tread

But she's guarding Michael's bedroom while he's sleeping.

Verse 4

I'm a little robot

I've come apart

My levers are all missing

Sometimes I'm hard to start

But I'm brave and not withstanding

Michael's games are often rough

She's guarding his big bedroom while he's sleeping

My motor's making noises

My tyres have no tread

But I'm guarding Michael's bedroom while he's sleeping.

Trivia

• The song was cut down in both its episode appearance and music video, most likely due to the content of some of the lyrics, as well as the fact that Diesel sings the last lines of the final two verses, not to mention time constraints.
• In both video versions, Angela Toohey's vocals have been edited to feature a "robot" effect, in order to fit in with the character's television lines.
