DGather round
Sit on down
Forget your worries
What's lost is found
DPurge the data
Break through strata
Dust off your CPU
Put it to a new use
Been trying to get this one out
For a good long while
The centuries turn to the past
Still I lay beguiled
InGvoluntary remarks
For an Gmold quandary a Dnew
ALeft in the dark
What's an Gold robot to Ddo
APlease explain
DWhat to do with this Gwild goose
If there's Dnothing to chase (GPlease Explain)
DWhat to do if the Gscrew turns loose
And there's Enothing to gain
APlease explain it to Dme
DIf your mustache makes a sandwich
Serve it on a platter
Two lovely nouns they need a verb
The panda climbs the ladder
If my Gmouth was made for mimicry
What's a Gmbronze robot to Dchew
AGum in my gears
And bat Gmeat in my Gmfancy Dshoes
APlease explain
DWhat to do with the Gpanda on the roof
Guess it Dmakes for good imagery (GPlease explain)
DWhat to do with the bat Gmeat in my fancy shoes
I could F#msell it to the panda
EmPlease explain it to Ame
G C G C G C Em A
I Ddo not need uranium
Or your fossil fuels
Friction from curiosity
Powers my hydro-tubes
GAnswers stem more questions
And grow my algoDrithms anew
They do?
Yes they do
If there's Emno concepts to Agrasp
What would DI, Grobot, Ddo
APlease explain
DWhat to do if the Gpoint is moot
What's a Dmoot anyway (GI don't know)
Is it the Dmeat in my fancy shoes?
Or the Gname of this wild goose?
Guess we need some Emgood-old-fashioned explaining
APlease explain it to Gme
