Real Boy

[FEMALE PERFORMERS and VANESSA DOOFENSHMIRTZ]
He wants to be a real boy He wants to be a real boy
He wants to be a real boy Real boy, yeah

[NORM THE ROBOT]
I'm a lonely orphan robot
Just a scrap metal tower
A misfired piston
Run on squirrel power

[FEMALE PERFORMERS]
His galvanized insides can feel no joy
He wants to be a real boy

[NORM THE ROBOT]
I wanna be a real boy

[RAPPERS]
Yeah!

[NORM THE ROBOT]
Not a titanium toy
Don't give my battery flattery
What I want is more grey matter-y

[Rappers]
A brain, some veins and some arteries!

[NORM THE ROBOT and Rappers]
I got a squirrel on a treadmill where my heart should be
If I was real, (you could feel!) I could really emote
Instead of shorting out whenever he sits on the remote
I want a dad (a father!) someone I can call pop
Someone to take me out for malteds at the soda shop
Someone to take me on a fishing trip or teach me how to ride a bike
Who'll pat me on the head and ask me "how you doin', tyke?"

[PERFORMERS, VANESSA, and RAPPERS]
How you doin', tyke?

[NORM THE ROBOT]
Well, I'm fine, all things considered
Wanna be a real boy, but I don't wanna sound embittered
But thanks for asking, seriously!
