Marvin, I Love You

Long ago, in another galaxy
There lived a gloomy robot
His name was marvin
He was getting old and a bit rusty
And nobody liked him
One day, being very bored
He thought it would be a good idea

To tidy up all of his old programs
In his dusty old databank
There were tapes in there
He hadn't played for years
Checking them through,
He accidentally pushed a wrong button
And suddenly he heard

Marvin, I love you
Marvin, I love you
Well, he was sure he hadn't
Heard that ever before
He wasn't even sure he'd heard it that time
Because being a bored and gloomy robot
He hadn't really been listening
What was worse, he couldn't remember
What button he'd accidentally pressed
Anyway, he tried a few switches at random
And suddenly

Marvin, I love you
Marvin I love you
Remember, I'm programmed for you
I know we're worlds apart
Still you couldn't break my heart
Loving you is all I can do
Well, he heard it that time all right, no doubt about it

Who was singing these strange words?
Was it another robot?
Or some strange lifeform from the distant past
When he was a young robot and people still made
The occasional attempt to like him?
He couldn't make it out at all
So, he pushed a few buttons again

Marvin, I love you
Marvin, I love you
That was it
I tried to contact marvin
I don't know why, but he never replied
Perhaps one day he'll answer.
Till then I guess I'll keep on trying

Marvin, I love you
Marvin I love you
Remember, I'm programmed for you
'Does not compute' he thought miserably
But at least he knew where to find it in his databank
From then on he could play it whenever he wanted
Think about what he'd missed
And live miserably ever after

Marvin, I love you
Marvin I love you
Remember, I'm programmed for you
I know we're worlds apart
Still you couldn't break my heart
Loving you is all I can do
Marvin, I love you
Marvin I love you
