I’m afraid to tell you how long I’ve been singing that song with those exact lyrics. Not one person has ever corrected me. Ever.

I had no idea what a maughty goto was, but I figured meh, it’s probably Japanese. Am I as dumb as I think I am? Yes, and I would think even a tad more.

Thank you very much.
Domo Arigato.

Now, who wants to know about bees? Yeah, me neither.

    Personally, I like the duct tape around the ankles and wrists. Very bling!

    Oddly enough, I want to know about the bees! I have always wanted to be a bee keeper… but dont want to get a hive until my kids get stung for the first time and I can find out if they are allergic or not!

  • Leila

    I have no idea what you are saying…being so culturally retrograde that I don’t even know what song it is you don’t know the lyrics to, although I’m sure you are very dumb not know what a maughty goto is.

    We got a new hive box and stuff (I also have no idea what all the bee stuff is), and it’s all painted, so now for the new bees…

    Happy Easter!

    Hey, I want to know about the bees! Forget everyone else, it’s all about me.

    I may not have bees or cute cuddly creatures but I am now the proud owner of 2lbs of worms. Yes, worms. They are resting comfortably and eating my compost. Hopefully they will eat and reproduce quickly.

    Pleeeze, pleeze, pleeze tell us about the beez! My grandfather kept them, but I didn’t visit enough to know what went on.

    If we need to know about bees to know why someone is dressed like that and posing like that….I would like to know about bees please.
    I now, thanks to you, have the “Mr. Roberto” song stuck in my brain and I even know the correct lyrics!

  • Southern Gal

    I heard that song on the radio while in the van two days ago. My son, 7, was asking what they were saying. He had the strangest look on his face. They probably would have done better with your lyrics.

    Now let’s hear about bees!

  • idreamicanfly

    Yeah, when I went to Japan that was just about the only Japanese I knew. So thanks Mr. Roboto. At least it’s a useful phrase. Not like the French I learned from Moulin Rouge. There’s one I don’t intend to use on a regular basis…

  • Sandy

    Oh yes, I WANT TO KNOW! How exciting! Our bees are due on April 27th! Hoping my roboto bee suit comes in before then! (it was supposed to ship on monday, but I haven’t seen the bloomin’ thing)

    Dah, April. Everyone knows the lyrics are Do mo omi gato, Mr. Robato. Gato being the Spanish word for CAT! So I don’t know where you are going with the whole Japanese thing.

    Meanwhile, I have just been thinking about bee keeping. I don’t know whether to do the honey thing or just make them a cute little houses so they will want to pollinate the garden I may never get going. But here in MAINE we are still in the middle of winter….

    Adios, Mr. Robato…

  • Captain's Wife - Jennifer

    I thought he was running from the bees because he made them mad when he took their coffee! :) LOL

    Mr. Roboto is now in my head. It is also in my music library. May have to give it a listen.

    Please do tell about the bees! They are on my want list. :)

  • Rhea

    Oh, you make me laugh. Always.

  • Sally-Ann

    I am still singing “Mr. Roboto” Thanks, thanks a lot……

  • Sawatzky family

    Oh lady…this just made me laugh…i needed the chuckle thanks! I can’t hear that song without laughing I love it. lol

    Don’t really care about the bees, but will soon have to because my husband got a bee in his bonnet and ordered us some bees. This translates to ME having to know about bees if they are going to survive after the farmer loses interests after two weeks.
