Rover
I’ve been a Mars rover for many a year
I look like they built me with plans from IKEA
With parts that they filched from a grocery store
And I never will play the Mars Rover no more
And there’s no way, ever,
No way, never no more
Will I play the Mars Rover
No never, no more
I looked for the space race and studied the stars
And I told my controller, there’s water on Mars
I’m only a buggy, I’ll do what I must
But now I’m afraid I have bitten the dust
And there’s no way, ever,
No way, never no more
Will I play the Mars Rover
No never, no more
I told them that Mars was much more than a dive
And they played me some Gloria (‘I Will Survive’)
They say I can phone home, but I’m not E.T.
Oh what in the cosmos will happen to me?
And there’s no way, ever,
No way, never no more
Will I play the Mars Rover
No never, no more
I’ll run no more errands, my homework is done
I’m junk here forever, in the cold light of Sun
I saw little green men, but I’ll speak no more
And I’ll never play the Mars rover no more
