Little Robots Theme Song Lyrics
Under a pile of scrap there lay a little chap
He had a broken arm but he made it good
Then he fixed his friends like robots should
Little robots, Little robots, Little robots
Tiny, Messy, Sporty, Stretchy, Rusty, Stripey,
Noisy, Spotty, Scary… ooohhh!
Flappy the bat, The Sparky twins,
And that’s that!
Little Robots, Little Robots, Little Robots
They made a world from junk
With a bang and a clang and a clunk
They build their homes ’round the nut and bolt tree
Now turn on the sunshine… wow weee!
Little Robots, Little Robots, Little Robots…

Behind the Lyrics: Meaning & Story
The Little Robots theme song captures the charming, stop-motion world created by Cosgrove Hall Films. The song tells the origin story of Tiny, the central character who finds himself in a scrap heap and uses his ingenuity to rebuild himself and his community.
The lyrics emphasize the power of recycling and teamwork. By naming all the robots—each with their own distinct personality (like Stretchy, Noisy, and Scary)—the song introduces children to a diverse group of friends who turn “junk” into a vibrant home. The “Nut and Bolt Tree” and “turning on the sunshine” are iconic metaphors for the creativity found in the show.
