I've got an android friend.
We make up music and we make pretend.
We steal from everyone in town;
We just love to tread on forbidden ground.
He likes to smoke indoors.
What he can't annoy he just deplores.
He mooches drinks with charming mocks
(He loves his whiskey on the rocks.)
I've got an android friend.
He's politically incorrect;
He will tell you what he sees
And is not programmed for euphemism.
He reads with a poet's heart;
He excels at black and martial arts.
He knows all the jokes concerning farts
And he likes his women big and smart.
When are you going to make him feel at home?
Is it because he knows much more than we know?
He travels to places we only dream of.
He takes life one day at a time, as it comes.
I've got an android friend
We're so fond of disregarding trends.
Every night we break a few taboos;
We will take the feet if they fit the shoes.
We turn up where you least expect.
To the howling wolf we pay respect.
You may see us dressed as honking clowns,
But our elegance is beyond doubt.
Please call me, please take me,
Will you be my friend?
I'll play you, you'll play me,
We'll laugh 'till the end.
You be nice, I'm naughty,
Or we can reverse.
I want you to have fun;
Why make it so strange?
When are you going to make him feel at home?
Is it because he knows much more than we know?
He travels to places we only dream of.
He takes life one day at a time, as it comes.
