Here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't)
Become a robot (clang clang)
Clang, clang, whoops, too late
Here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't)
Become a robot (clang clang)
Clang, clang, whoops, too late
Let's stick together 'cause we're number 8*
Let's stick to numbers 'cause we're great*
Here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't)
Become a robot (clang clang)
Clang, clang, whoops, too late
Hey!
Wait!
Here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't)
Harbor a deathwish* (help help)
Help, help, help yourself
Here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't)
Harbor a deathwish* (help help)
Help, help, help yourself
Hip, hip, horrific are the words we sing
Hip, hip, horrific is our thing
Here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't)
Become a robot (help help)
Help, help, help, help
Help, help, help
Notes
*These lines are disputable.
The liner notes to Then: The Earlier Years claim that the lines in the first bridge are as written here,
and that in the second verse the line is 'harbor a wishnik.
' Many fans claim to hear 'harbor a deathwish' or 'harbor a penguin,' but 'deathwish' seems the most likely. Others hear 'number A/'cause we're gray' in the first bridge
rather than what is printed here.
