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

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
Where the movies begin or end
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)
Now keep in mind, Mike can't control
Where the movies begin or end
He'll try to keep his dsanity
With the help of his robot friends

Season 10:
In the not too distant future
Somewhere in time and space
Mike Nelson and his robot friends
Are caught in a nasty place
They try to survive the wrath of Pearl
An evil gal who wants to rule the world
From her castle below she sets her sights above
To torchure all the captives on the Satellite of Love (Get Me Down!)

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)
