Six o'clock in the morning
Wake up by the bed
There sits a Japanese toy

And I like it
See the name on the wrapping
Can't read yet but I know

it's made for me (lucky boy)
And I want it
Lights that flash, wheels that go round

Digital display
Fresh silicon chips to enjoy
And I need them

(Where's the batteries?)
Sitting silent and empty
Wish I could breathe life

in my new friend who's terribly still
And I like him
Just like me. P'rhaps he's hungry.

Six volts make him smile
And twelve volts would probably kill
How I like him

Daddy, where's the batteries
I can't find my batteries
(There's no batteries)

Seven o'clock in the morning
They find me by the bed
with my friend the Japanese toy

I am with him
Mummy, Daddy --- can't see you,
hear you. Batteries not

included in this little boy
(Where's my batteries?)
