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?)
