Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto.
domo arigato Mr. Roboto mata au himu de.
domo arigato Mr. Roboto himitsu wo shiri tai.

You're wondering who I am,
(Secret, secret. I've got a secret.)
Machine or mannequin
(Secret, secret. I've got a secret.)
With parts made in Japan.
(Secret, secret. I've got a secret.)
I am the modren man.

I've got a secret,
I've been hiding under my skin.
I'm only human. My blood is boiling.
My brain IBM.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised.
I'm just a man who needed someone
And somewhere to hide to keep me alive,
Just keep me alive.
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive.

I'm not a robot without emotions.
I'm not what you see.
I've come to help you with your problems
So we can be free.
I'm not a hero. I'm not a savior.
Forget what you know.
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control.
Beyond my control, we all need control.
I need control. We all need control.

I am the modren man
(Secret, secret. I've got a secret.)
Who hides behind the mask
(Secret, secret. I've got a secret.)
So no one else can see (Secret, secret. I've got a secret.)
My true identity.

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
Domo (Domo). Domo (Domo).
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
Domo (Domo). Domo (Domo).
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
(Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.) Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto,
(Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.) For doing the jobs that nobody wants to.
(Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.) And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto,
(Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.) For helping me escape just when I needed to.
Thank you. (Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.)
Thank you, thank you. (Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.)
I wanna thank you. (Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.)
Please, thank you. (Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.)
Ohhhhhh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Yaaaaa-ahhhhhhh.

The problem's plain to see.
Too much technology.
Machines to save our lives.
Machines dehumanize.

I am the modren man
(Secret, secret. I've got a secret.)
Who hides behind the mask
(Secret, secret. I've got a secret.)
So no one else can see (Secret, secret. I've got a secret.)
My true identity.
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!
Kilroy.
