Dear Santa

Hear the version from 'Circumstantial Evidence":

         C                          F              C
I want a robot for Christmas, one a hundred meters high.

One with flashing lights and dials. It could walk or swim or fly.
It would put me on its shoulder so I'd never be alone.
It would conquer all the planet with its horde of robot clones.
It would rule benevolently, or so it would seem, but then
It would see us, every one of us, to some evil aliens.
I would lead the human rebellion 'gainst our metal overlord.
My paradoxes would drive it crazy, cause its poor head to explode.
I'd be a hero to all the humans, become president of the world.
Statues would be erected to me, 'cause I'd been so smart and bold.
That's why
I want a robot for Christmas, one a hundred meters high.
One with flashing lights and dials. It could walk or swim or fly.
