The
scientists at Illicit Industries have been working on their amazing Robot
Mark III. Here, they sing about what it can do (allegedly).
Verse
1
Now
what we pre-sent to you Gentlemen,
Is
the finest machine in the land,
For
jobs large and small it can cope with them all
With
its multi adjustable hand.
Verse
2
Let
me show it to you, just what it can do,
And
I'm sure that you'll be amazed,
Coz
what we have here is the machine of the year,
The
greatest machine of our age.
Chorus
The
Illicit Industries Robot,
Is
here on display for you to survey,
The
Illicit Industries Robot,
Our
Robot Mark Three is as you can see,
Quite
neat.
Verse
3
It'll
sew, it'll mend, it'll fetch if you send,
It'll
speak if you give it a chance,
If
it squeaks it'll oil, it'll bring to the boil,
It’ll
entertain guests at a dance.
Chorus
The
Illicit Industries' Robot,
It
can hammer a nail should problems prevail,
The
Illicit Industries' Robot,
The
first and the best, don't look at the rest,
Try
our test.
It’ll
hammer, it’ll screw, it’ll boil and it’ll brew,
It’ll
clean and sweep and mend and fix and fettle,
It’ll
forge and it’ll plate, it’ll oil and lubricate,
It’ll
galvanise whatever kind of metal,
It’ll
drive and it’ll steer, it’ll even change the gears,
It’ll
scream and scrape and work the whole day through,
It’ll
think and contemplate, say “Sorry” if you’re late,
Just
a few of the things that it can do for you.
It’ll
hammer, it’ll screw, it’ll boil and it’ll brew,
It’ll
clean and sweep and mend and fix and fettle,
It’ll
forge and it’ll plate, it’ll oil and lubricate,
It’ll
galvanise whatever kind of metal,
It’ll
drive and it’ll steer, it’ll even change the gears,
It’ll
scream and scrape and work the whole day through,
It’ll
think and contemplate, say “Sorry” if you’re late,
Just
a few of the things that it can do for you.
