TITLE: Give Me a Martian Rover
Lyrics and Chords
[To the tune of "Ramblin' Rover" by Andy Stewart]
{Refrain}
Oh, there's astronauts aplenty, and launches barely twenty
They'll wait out the 1990's, and may never get off the ground
But give me a Martian rover - just send a hundred over
And with Option, Shift, and Clover, I will tele-explore around
/ DA D DG D / G D A G / 1st / G D A D /
There's eager anticipation of weightless copulation
It's become a preoccupation for which many a pair rehearse
But call me a doubting Thomas; hold on to your pajamas
For a trip to the Bahamas would be easier on the purse
{Refrain}
There's many who planned on swimmin' with naked Martian women
In canals they believed were brimmin' for their steamy romantic spree
They must feel a mite embarrassed: we found no Martian heiress
But there's Valles Marineris; that's romantic enough for me
{Refrain}
I have roamed throughout the planets - you wonder how I can
It's that wherever the robots land it's just a matter of tuning in
You may think a spacesuit better, but I feel so much wetter
With a sea of molten lead or liquid methane against me skin
{Refrain}
E.V.A. gets acrophobic, your room is claustrophobic
All the food is anaerobic, and you're finding it's hard to take
Though your job is on the station and mine's teleoperation
I may find some consolation having lunch at my mountain lake
{Refrain}
