SONG

1 Listen, read, and sing. TR: 8.3

I Am a Robot

If I were a robot, what would my life be like?
I wish I were a robot! What would that life be like?

Now, I am a robot. I follow all commands.
But I wish I had more features.
I wish I had better hands.

Now, I am a robot. I do what I am told.
But I wish I had a birthday.
Then again, I never will get old.
CHORUS

I am a robot. I can do many things.
Have you ever met a robot that can sing?

Now, I am a robot. I’m helpful, and I’m smart.
But I wish that I could fix myself. I sometimes fall apart.

Now, I am a robot, made of wires and steel. www.english0905.com
I always say the same thing if you ask me how I feel.
CHORUS

Now, I am a robot, and I must say goodbye.
But even when I’m sad, I am programmed not to cry.
