Funky Robot - Rufus Thomas

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
