My Broken Friend

From Bendin' in the Wind



(Note: Many of the verses in this song

were accompanied by Beck on the tail

end but are not transcribed as such here)



Bender

People say my broken friend is useless

But I say his mind is free

There's lots of things my mangled robot

friend could be

He could make a good hat rack



Beck

He only has to stand there



Bender

Or a cheap door stop



Beck

He doesn't need to move



Bender

Or a great big giant thermos

With a twist off top



Beck

That would be good for soup



Bender

He could be a storage closet



Bender,Beck

For outdated pants



Beck

I like 'em tight



Bender

My broken friend could do it all



Bender, Beck

Just give him a chance



Bender

That robot has a tragic secret

That I'd like to share



Beck

For real?



Bender

My broken friend is closer to me

than an ass to a chair

That robots name I never told you

You could not foresee

I'll say it loud and sing it proud



Bender, Beck

His name is you and me



Bender

Don't melt me down into a crow bar



Beck

It suffers alone



Bender

Just cause I can't move my arms and legs

Or toss me into a trash can

Just cause I can't cook you ham and eggs

Don't crush me into an anchor



Just because I can't jump and dance and sing

I'm telling you my broken friend

Put your hands in the air like you just don't care

I'm telling you my broken friend

Can do most anything!

Yeah!
