With the exception of four ‘Marvin’s by an unidentified female vocalist near the end of the song, all of the speaking and singing in this song is Stephen Moore’s Marvin’s responsibility. In other words, all voices are Marvin unless otherwise stated.
== Lyrics ==
; ‘Rap’: Reasons to be miserable give my brain a pain. ; : Very little turns me on, Marvin is my name. ; : I’m a robot, it’s my lot, a robot full of cares, ; : I’d feel a little better if they broke me up for spares. ; : Everything I say or do I find the world condemning — ; : If I had my time again I’d rather be a lemming. ; : ; Moaned: I’m just a menial robot ; : Ohhhh well ; : ; Angry chorus: They drive me crazy with their ; : “Marvin close the door!” ; : Well isn’t it enough to make me ; : Tidy up the floor ; : You know it spoils a robot’s day… ; : Marvin when you’ve finished you can put yourself away. ; : ; Moaned: I’m going to flip my lid. ; : They treat me like a kid. ; : ; ‘Rap’: Robot naughty, robot bad, ; : Robot happy, robot sad, ; : “Who’s a clever robot lad?” ; : It would drive a human mad ; : ; ‘Chant’: Robots are inhuman ; : Robots are inhuman ; : Human, robots are in -- ; : human, robots are in ; : ; Moaned: I get no satisfaction ; : I’m bored ; : ; Angry chorus: Can’t bear these humans when they ; : Make me do their work ; : I’d rather me a calculator ; : Treat me like a jerk ; : Ohohoh that’ll be the day. ; : ; : Pat me on the head ; : I’d rather be a percolator ; : It’d be no trouble ; : Just to bubble life away
; Moaned: Don’t get a holiday ; : Or friends to stay ; : ; : How can a robot think ; : With his elbows in the sink? ; : ; Sarcastic: Marvin peel a grape ; : ; Female vocal: (Marvin) ; : ; Moaned: Is there no escape? ; : ; Female vocal: (Marvin) ; : ; More sarcastic: Marvin dig a hole ; : ; Female vocal: (Marvin) ; : ; Even more sarcastic: Play some rock and roll ; : ; Female vocal: (Marvin)
Guitar-screamy sort of largely instrumental break, during which Marvin can be heard commenting, just when you thought he couldn’t get more sarcastic:
; : Yeah. ; : Dig it. ; : ; Back to the spoken bile: I really hate it when they ; : Underload my brain ; : Washing up the dirty dishes ; : Diodes give me pain ; : Walking dogs and feeding fishes ; : Driving me insane ; : Just a metal slave is what a robot is ; : And always ; : Will remain.
