Robot Spiders, people.

lyrics

TATTOO TED LEFT HIS HOUSE ON THE BEACH
TO MEET THE GIRL FROM THE DATING SITE
AFTER HE PARKED THE CAR, HE WALKED IN, HIT THE BAR
AND ORDERED TWO GLASSES OF WHITE
SHE WALKED IN AND HE WAVED WITH A GRIN
SHE SAID, “HI” AND STUCK OUT HER HAND
SHE SAID, “YOU MUST BE TED,” HE SHOOK HER HAND AND SAID
“THAT WOULD MAKE YOU LEIGHANN”
LEIGHANN WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, TED THOUGHT HE MIGHT GO BERSERK
TED BECAME VISIBLY EXCITED
WHEN SHE ASKED HIM WHAT HE DID FOR WORK

I BUILD ROBOT SPIDERS
ENGINEERED TO KILL AND REPLACE
THE PEOPLE YOU AND I CALL THE HUMAN RACE
AND ALL I WANT IS A LOVING FRIEND
TO SIT IN MY BEACH HOUSE WITH ME
AND WATCH THE WORLD END

LEIGHANN RAN SCREAMING FROM THE RESTAURANT
BUT TED FIGURED HE’D TRY AGAIN
HE SET A RENDEZ-VOUS WITH BETTY SUE
AT A COFFEE SHOP AROUND THE BEND
LEIGHANN HAD BEEN CUTE AND CLEVER TO BOOT
BUT BETTY SUE PUT HER RIGHT TO SHAME
THEY TALKED FOR A SPELL, THINGS WERE STARTING TO GEL
SO THEY WENT TO GO BOWL A FEW FRAMES
TED WAS AVOIDING THE LINE OF DISCUSSION THAT RUINED HIS LAST DATE
THEN BETTY SAID, “HEY, WHAT’S YOUR JOB?
“I DON’T THINK I EVER GOT THAT STRAIGHT.”

“IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED,”
TED THOUGHT, AS HE DROVE TO MEET JOY
HE TRIED A DIFFERENT APPROACH
AND ASKED FIRST HOW SHE WAS EMPLOYED
AND JOY SAID TO TED

I BUILD ROBOT SCORPIONS
ENGINEERED TO KILL AND REPLACE…
