Lyrics: (These are the lyrics for each version of the Theme Song) 

KTMA season: 
In the not too distant future 
Next Sunday, A.D. 
There was a guy named Joel 
Not too differant then you or me 
He worked in a satellite loading bay 
Just polishing switches to pay his way 
He did his job well, with a chipple face 
But his bosses didn't like him so they shot him into space 

We'll send him cheesy movies 
The worst ever made 
Joel says, "When you got lemons, you make lemonaid." 
Now keep in mind he can't control 
Where the movies begin or end 
Becasue he used the extra parts 
To make his robot friends 

Robot Roll Call 
Cambot 
Servo 
Gypsy 
Crooooooow 

If you're wondering how he eats and breathes 
And other science facts 
Just repeat to yourself, it's just a show 
I should really just relax

Season 1-5.5: 
In the not too distant future 
Next Sunday, A.D. 

There was a guy named Joel 
Not too differant from you or me 
He worked at Gizmonic Institute 
Just another guy in a red jumpsuit 
He did a goof job cleaning up the place 
But his bosses didn't like him so they shot him into space 

We'll send him cheesy movies 
The worst we can find (Da la la) 
He'll have to sit and watch them all 
And we'll monitor his mind (Da la la) 
Now keep in mind, Joel can't control 
Where the movies begin or end 
Becasue he used the special parts 
To make his robot friends

If you're wondering how he eats and breathes 
And other science facts 
Just repeat to yourself it's just a show

Season 5.5-6: 
In the not too distant future 
Way down in Deep 13 
Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank were hatching an evil scheme 
They hired a temp by the name of Mike 
Just a regular Joe they didn't like 
They're experiment needed a good test case 
So they conked him on the noggen 
And they shot him into space (Let me go!) 

We'll send him cheesy movies 
The worst we can find (Da la la) 
He'll have to sit and watch them all 
And we'll monitor his mind (Da la la) 
Now keep in mind, Mike can't control

He'll try to keep his sanity 
With the help of his robot friends

Saeson 8-9: 
In the not too distant future 
Somewhere in time and space 
Mike Nelson and his robot friends 
Are caught in an endless chase 
Pursued by a woman who's name is Pearl 
An evil gal who wants to rule the world 
She threw a few thing in her purse 
And in her rocketship she hunts them across the Universe (I'll get 
you!) 

I'll send him cheesy movies 
The worst I can find (Da la la) 
He'll have to sit and watch them all 
And I'll monitor his mind (Da la la)

He'll try to keep his dsanity 
With the help of his robot friends

From her castle below she sets her sights above 
To torchure all the captives on the Satellite of Love (Get Me Down!)

***I figured out the chords to this from the Man or Astroman? version 
of the song on their CD "Live Transmissons from Uranus", but the 
chords in the original are the same. Feel free to play the chords as 
open chords or power chords. Most of all, enjoy it and enjoy MST3K. 
Hikeeba and Keep Circulating the Tapes!!! Long Live MST3K!!!***
