Magic Joe

Hey magic joe, you're my plastic robot toy
Hey magic joe, send my letter to my boy
I put the batteries into joe's body
And he starts to work, sending up smoke
Hey magic joe, you're my plastic robot toy
Hey magic joe, send my letter to my boy
Red eyes are sparkling he's looking alive
Moving powerfully he's doing jive
Hey magic joe, you're my plastic robot toy
Hey magic joe, send my letter to my boy
He's receiving my command grabbing my letter
Slowly he turns his face left and right
Laser beam eyes, metallic body
Chastise the bad guys with his electronic brain
