It's not in the book, but in the radio play, or in the TV series

"Marvin"
by Marvin, the paranoid android

Hey Poem Wrecker..
:shock:
This is the version of Marvin I have..

I'm just a robot and I know my place
A metal servant to the human race
I work my can off trying to satisfy
I know they'll disconnect me by and by
Chip on my shoulder made of silicon
My printed circuit's like a lexicon
Ten billion logic functions, maybe more
They make me pick the paper off the floor

Solitary solinoid
Terminally paranoid
Marvin

Know what makes me really mad
They clean me with a Brillo Pad
A carwash wouldn't be so bad
Life! Don't talk to me about life

I'm so depressed I could expectorate
My moving parts are in a solid state
I want to rust in peace, switch off and lie
In that great junk yard in the sky

Solitary solinoid
Terminally paranoid
Marvin

Nothing left to be enjoyed
Every diode rheumatoid
Marvin

Outer alloy
Inner void
Marvin

Happiness has been destroyed



"Night"
by Marvin, the Paranoid Android

Now the world has gone to bed,
Darkness won't engulf my head,
I can see by infra-red,
How I hate the night.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Try to count electric sheep,
Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.
