Only Human - Steam Powered Giraffe

Well hello there!

(Hello!)

Did you have a nice day?

(Nice day?)

I can tell by the look on your face

You’ve got some things on your plate

I am your robot

(Beep-bop-beep)

May I please take your bags?

(Bobbity-beep!)

Feel free to deposit your worries

Into the metaphorical trash

That passive aggression

Will do you no good

Try the direct approach

Then a solution we might broach

Once we move past it

We gotta think about tomorrow

I’ll take care of the chores

The critical thinking is yours!

You must remember

You’re only human

And you’ve come so far

Don’t give up now!

You’ve gotta keep going!

Keep your wits about you!

Face adversity

Remain complex and incomplete!

Hold it right there

(Stop.)

Give me that can of beans

(Hand it over!)

I will open it for you

You’ve got better things to do!

Do not worry

(Let it go!)

About little ol' me

(Ain't no thing…)

I was built for this

My purpose is your ease!

If you’re having difficulties

Going to sleep

Let me sing you a song

Help you drift along

Close your eyes, relax your limbs

Open your mind, let the dreams begin!

Just remember

To stand before you fly

You’re human only once

So give it a good try

Follow your nose, or just follow your heart

Oh, the choice is up to you

Nobody else but you!

While you were asleep

I was contemplating

Maybe I’m only human with rusted metal plating

And you’re the robot

Under constant repair

But that’s just silly

Why would a robot have hair?

I can make life simple

(With ones and zeroes)

You can make mine obsolete

(But, please don’t…)

Your memories they stick

Mine I can’t delete

We can both fake a smile

We can both be confused at times

We can both write poetry

And match simple rhymes

You must remember

You’re only human!

You’ve got a ways to go

So put on a good show!

Keep it murky, or make it

Crystal clear

Oh, the choice is up to you

No one but beautiful you!
