Hey, Hey, She's A Cyborg

by Richard Tornello

(To the tune of "Hey, Hey, We're The Monkees", with some apologies to Boyce & Hart)

Here we come walkin'
Down the street.
We get no looks from the people we meet.
Hey, hey, she's a cyborg.
She looks like a human bean.
Hey hey it's the software.
Ain't no body been told.

New tests with upgrades,
We leased her out this way.
She's got a perfect skin shade
So no one will say:
“Hey, hey shes a cyborg
Let's put her down today.
Hey, hey she's a cyborg
We don't want here here today”

We're just try'n to get you
Accustomed to the facts,
Hey, hey she's a cyborg,
This is a new generation
There ain't no lookin' back.

Hey, hey she's a cyborg
Ain't no control/alt/delete.
Hey, hey she's a cyborg And love with her with all our might.
Hey, hey she's a cyborg
She's my little sister, and she's alright.
