“Please Explain” Lyrics
Music & Lyrics by Samuel Luke
Artwork by Samuel Luke

Hatchworth:

Gather round

sit on down

forget your worries

what’s lost is found

Purge the data

break through strata

dust off your CPU

put it to a new use

Rabbit:

Been trying to get this one out

for a good long while

the centuries turn to the past

still I lay beguiled
Involuntary remarks
for an old quandary a new
Left in the dark
what’s an old robot to do

Please explain
What to do with this wild goose
if there’s nothing to chase (please explain, oh-oh-oh)
What to do if the screw turns loose

and there’s nothing to gain please explain it to me

Hatchworth:
If your moustache makes a sandwich
serve it on a platter

to lovely nouns they need a verb

the panda climbs the ladder

if my mouth was made for mimicry

what’s a bronze robot to chew

Gum in my gears

and bat meat in my fancy shoes

Please explain

What to do with the panda on the roof

Guess it makes for good imagery (please explain, oh-oh-oh)
What to do with the bat meat in my fancy shoes (woah-oh-oh)
I could sell it to the panda. Please explain it to me

Spine:
I do not need uranium

or your fossil fuels
Friction from curiosity

powers my hydro-tubes
Answers stem more questions

and grow my algorithms anew
H: They do?
S: Yes they do
If there’s no concepts to grasp

what would I, robot, do


Please explain
What to do if the point is moot
What’s a moot anyway (I don’t know)

H: Is it the meat in my fancy shoes?
R: Or the name of this wild goose?


S: Guess we need some good-old-fashioned explaining

All: Please explain it to me
