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?)
