Lyrics
I know all of you remember
All about the breakdown
Now I've got somethin' else
That's feeling rockin' the beat, yeah
Heard about them other dancers
Some of them wasn't it so hot
This is what I want you to do
A brand new thing called the "Robot"
Robot, funky robot
Robot, funky robot
You know dancers come and go
Just like the push and pull
I ain't the kind of the man
That shoot nobody no good
I've got to keep up with the times
And that's why I'm so hot
I just want you to get on with it
The thing you call the "Robot"
Robot, funky robot
Robot, funky robot
Now, you've got it
I know you've tried the popcorn
And you wouldn't make it
I bet you've tried the Funky Penguin
But you really couldn't take it
All of them other dances
I tell you they wasn't so hot
I ain't gonna say no more
I wanna see you do the "Robot"
Robot, Funky Robot
Robot, Funky Robot
Everybody do it!
Oh, oh, Robot!
Oh, oh, It's the Robot!
You know dancers come and go
Just like the push and pull
I ain't the kind of a man
That shoot nobody no good
I've got to keep up with the times
And that's why I'm so hot
I just want you to get on with it
I'm talkin' about the "Robot"
Robot, funky robot
Robot, funky robot
Listen!
I don't know why it started!
I don't know why it started!
I don't know why it started!
I don't know why it started!
Do it over in England
And do it over in France
Everybody in the whole wide world
Is doing this crazy dance
Talkin' about robot, funky robot!
Robot, funky robot
Everybody's talkin' 'bout
What they got to loose
And if you can't feel the robot
You sure ain't got no groove
Talkin' 'bout robot, robot!
Funky robot, funky robot
Get on up on the floor
And show them what you've got
It ain't no need to be bashful, baby
Come on, do the "Robot"!
Robot, funky robot
Robot, funky robot
Oh, oh, it's the robot!
Oh, oh, funky Robot!
Listen!
Aww! Robot
Aww! Robot
Feels so good I want to hop up in
But I ain't, do the robot!
Robot!
Come on, come on!
Come on, come on!
Don't get sit down, get on that!
Don't just sit down, get on up!
Do the robot, funky robot
Do the robot, funky robot
Do it, do it!
Do it, do it!
Mama can do it, papa too!
Grandma, Grandpa, doin' the Robot, too!
I ain't lyin'!
Robot, robot!
Funky robot, funky robot
Everybody's doin' it, everybody's doin it
Everybody's doin' it, everybody's doin it
