"Doctor Franklyn" Lyrics

Our town had a scientist
Who promised us he could assist
With all our little everyday affairs

He built assistant robot men
Who towered 25 foot ten
And said that they would meet our every care

But his motives were ulterior
Cuz he felt we were inferior
And very much to our surprise
These metal helpers terrorized!

Oh, Dr. Franklyn won't you get your robots out of here
Life's been awful since they have arrived
Please, Dr. Franklyn, though it sounded like a good idea
Now we just wanna make it out alive

The massive robots went to town
Just blowing up and tearing down
And seeing how much havoc they could wreak

Now there's panic in the city streets
As people run from metal feet
The situation's looking pretty bleak

Well perhaps if everybody goes
And grabs the nearest fire hose
We'll soak these things and let 'em rust
And leave these monsters in the dust!

Oh, Dr. Franklyn won't you get your robots out o' here
Life's been awful since they have arrived
Please, Dr. Franklyn, though it sounded like a good idea
Now we just wanna make it out alive. Let's go!

Oh, Dr. Franklyn won't you get these robots out o' here
Don't sit there looking sorry in defeat
Please, Dr. Franklyn, we'd sure love for them to disappear
They don't look pretty piled in the streets

Oh, Dr. Franklyn won't you get these robots out o' here
We'd love for you to have them out by five!
Please, Dr. Franklyn, we'd sure love for them to disappear
'Cause we just want to go about our lives!
