Andrew Thompson's "We're In Business" Lyrics

An instant classic:

Robot: Hey Andrew!
Andrew: What's up Robot?
Robot: I love you!
Andrew:I know you do
Robot: Hey Andrew!
Andrew:What's up Robot?
Robot: I love you!
Andrew: I know you do
Robot: Hey Andrew!
Andrew:What's up Robot?
Robot: I love you!
Andrew: I know you do
Robot: Hey Andrew!
Andrew:What's up Robot?
Robot: I"M GOING TO KILL YOU!
Andrew: OH MY GOD!

Never trust a robot(s)
Never trust a robot(s)
You might think that they are your friend
They'll only kill you in the end
Never trust a robot(s)
Never trust a robot(s)
Don't leave them with your kids
Don't invite them to play bridge

Chorus:
Andrew:If you're a human being, we're in business
Andrew:If you are not a machine, we're in business
Robot: If you are not me?
Andrew:We're in business. We're in business

Don't take them along for trips
They might posion your bag of chips
Never trust a robot(s)
Never trust a robot(s)
Don't take them with you to work
They just might go berserk

Robot:Hey Andrew!
Andrew:What's up Robot?
Robot: I love you!
Andrew:I know you do
Robot:Hey Andrew!
Andrew:What's up Robot?
Robot: I love you!
Andrew:I know you do
Robot:Hey Andrew!
Andrew:What's up Robot?
Robot: I love you!
Andrew:I know you do
Robot:Hey Andrew!
Andrew:What is it Robot?
Robot:YOUR ASS IS MINE!
Andrew:OH MY GOD!

Chorus:
Andrew:If you're a human being, we're in business
Andrew:If you are not a machine, we're in business
Robot: If you are not me?
Andrew:We're in business. We're in business

Robot: Come on outside! I brought you a lollipop. Oh, what? This? It only looks a laser gun that kills people! Hahahaaaaa!
