about

I wrote most of this song in 1983, when I was six years old.
I wrote the rest in 2021, when I was/am 43 years old.
Try and figure out who did what when.

lyrics

There was a strong man, they think his name is Bill
But he was the wrong man, his name was Robot Kill
He has lasers shooting out from his hands
And he'll shoot anyone he can
But if you see him, you better hide in the sand
'Cause the only one he likes is The Jet Band
Robot Kill!

There was a strong man, they think his name is Will
But he was the wrong man, his name is Robot Kill
He has lasers shooting out of his head
They're orange and they're
But if you see him, you will wind up dead
'Cause the only one he likes is The Jet Band
Robot Kill!

The only one he likes, who thinks he's a star
Is his special friend "The Magical Guitar"
Play it loud now!

Robot? (Hello)
I command thee
You (Me?)
Must (What?)
Rock
Rock!

His layers shooting out of his eye
It will make you cry
But if you see him, perhaps you will die
He has lasers shooting out of his heart
I don't know where it starts
But if you see him, he will tear you apart
'Cause the only one he likes is The Jet Band
Robot Kill!

I'm the strong man
In the Jet Band
