"Love Theme from Mystery Science Theatre" from opening of Mystery Science Theater 3000 as shown on Comedy Central (1995-present)
Lyrics: The Brains Music: Charles Erickson and Joel Hodgson

In the not-too-distant future
Somewhere in time and space
Mike Nelson and his robot pals
Are caught in an endless chase
Pursued by a woman whose name is Pearl,
An evil gal who wants to rule the world.
She threw a few things in her purse,
And in her rocketship she hunts him
All across the universe. (I'll get you!!!)

I'll send him cheesy movies,
The worst I can find (la-la-la).
He'll have to sit and watch them all,
And I'll monitor his mind (la-la-la).
Now keep in mind Mike can't control
Where the movies begin or end (la-la-la)
He'll try to keep his sanity
With the help of his robot friends.

Robot Roll Call:
Cambot! (You're on!)
Gypsy! (Oh, my stars!)
Tom Servo! (Check me out!)
Croooow! (I'm different!)

If you're wondering how he eats and breathes
and other science facts (la-la-la),
Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show,
I should really just relax
For Mystery Science Theater 3000!"
