Jethro Tull - Batteries Not Included
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? )
