Lyrics[]
So there's this kid I knew. He just decided he didn't wanna go to school anymore, all he wanted to do was.. build a robot. Which sounds pretty cool. But there's much more to the story.
Listen up!
I'll tell you about this kid that said I am through
No longer I am attending this place called school
It's a waste of my time, and it makes me sick
I've had enough reading, writing, and arithmetic
His parents said no you've got to learn
Grow big, get a job, and bring your earn
They'd scratched their heads, they get him not
But all he wants to do is build the rockin' robot.
(refrain; "Rockin' robot" is repeated)
The kid told his dad not all school is bad
But to build a rockin' robot would be totally rad
Guitars, microchips, and mechanical parts
Lasers for the eyes, and a metronome heart
Just plug him in and he'll play all night
This rockin' robot will be out of sight
He told his mom and dad you don't understand
Nothing is cooler then a robot in a band!
Jasper: Man that sounds futuristic, a robot on stage singing!
Helen: But the boy has to go to school to learn!
Pasqually: Chuck E. what happened? Did he a-go back to school or, build a robot?
Chuck E.: Don't worry guys, I'm gonna tell you the rest of the story. But first: it's time for a ROBOT DANCE BREAK!!
(interlude)
His dad said "Son I have heard your voice
But an education seems to be your only choice
Science and math must be your scene
cause you'll have to study hard to build a musical machine"
The kid realized he didn't think this through
Back to school to make his dream come true
So he hit the books, got down to 'biz
To learn everything he can so he can build his
(refrain; "Rockin' robot" is repeated)
