[Verse 1]

I built a robot

His name is S.A.M

S.A.M. is happy, he's the man

But not a real man, just a tin can

He doesn't mind, he can't sunburn

[Pre-Chorus 1]

One day I decided to feed him lunch

A piece of watermelon and he went to take a much

Before he could I saw that I forgot to make a mouth

You need a mouth S.A.M

You just can't go without

[Chorus]

You need a mouth S.A.M

You silly tin can

You need a mouth S.A.M

You silly tin can

[Verse 2]

The whole next day all he said was

Can I sing along?

Oh S.A.M. don't you see you've got it all wrong

This is a people's world

Full of boys and girls

Know what we have in common?

We all have mouths

[Pre-Chorus 2]

So no, you can't sing along

First of all, you don't have a mouth

Second of all, you're a robot and robots can't sing

That's my final answer

[Chorus]

You need a mouth S.A.M

You silly tin can

You need a mouth S.A.M

You silly tin can

[Bridge]

I'm S.A.M. and I don't need a mouth

I'm a robot and I don't need a mouth

(Laughing)

I use robot language

You can't control me tiny human

I could eat if robots were allowed

[Verse 3]

That night he showed me a number in the phone book

The way to a man who had a mouth

I thought we'd take a look

Got there then the man said

What's all this about

S.A.M. looked him right in the eye

And then he took his mouth

S.A.M. What are you doing

That is a man

He needs that for eating

You're overheating

You need a beating

Get over here

So I can show you how to treat things

That's when S.A.M.'s rap box came alight

[Verse 4: S.A.M.]

I'll show you how to treat things

I am S.A.M

I am your new king

Look at my battery

3 times the size of a plane wing

[Verse 5]

S.A.M. please relax

I'm not mad

I just count stacks

Then I eat crackers

What do you eat?

Oh yeah right, nothing

'Cause you're a stupid robot

[Chorus]

You need a mouth S.A.M

You silly tin can

You need a mouth S.A.M

You silly tin can

[Outro]

Alas

It all came to an end

When S.A.M. and I were biking by the waterfront

And he was struck by a bus

Goodbye old friend

Goodbye
