I'm a robot rock n' roller On the planet Mars Got a sister Martian rover And this world is ours We have a dirty job But there's nothing to it We love the opportunity And have the right spirit I investigate the Crater And my sister's on the Plain Determining the structure Of local terrain NASA dropped us off in 2000 and 4 Said We were down for the count But we came back for more The dirts so red I never get the blues It's a good life It's a good life I'm feeling all right I found some hematite It's good life It's a awesome life We got the magnets and We got the cameras Grinding tools and Microscopic imagers We move from place to place Testing stones and soil We've got solar panels We don't run no oil NASA set us up good and For that we're glad Been down with the job Since we left the launch pad Viva Mars Visa NaSa You'll here us cheer Six hundred Eighty Seven Days in the Martian year The dirts so red I never get the blues It's a good life It's a good life I'm feeling all right I found some hematite It's good life It's a awesome life Rock all day Eat sun for food It's a good life It's a great life Think I'm artificial I'm more alive that you It's a good life It's a good life Viva Mars! Viva Nasa!!!
I dig for rocks all day, but I'm not on the pipe! There's no water on Mars, don't believe that hype! I'm green on the red planet, cause I'm solar son! Don't step to me boy, my Pathfinder weights a ton. NASA left me for dead, and I don't care! Keep your Java upgrades, I don't need no repairs! Relaxing in my crater, watching the stars! I'm the Sojourner Rover, Emperor of Mars!
