    I sure miss Earth's moon.

    Phobos and Deimos are boring. No phases, they're so tiny.

    Yesterday I stopped to stare,
    When NASA wondered what was there.
    They made me stop again today.
    Oh how I wish they'd go away.

    I'm a pebble plucking robot and
    I'm always plucking pebbles till
    the pebble pluckings done.

    Chorus. It's a pebble sucking robot
    who is always sucking pebbles till
    the pebble suckings done and it
    reads our words correctly!

    This land is my land,
    This land is my land,
    Each bright red rock and,
    Each grain of sand.
    No people here, so
    This must be my land.
    This land belongs to me, me, me.

    Rollin' rollin' rollin,
    though the streams'r stollen,
    keep them bogeys rollin rawhide!

    Keep moving moving moving
    Though their disapproving
    Keep them bogies movin rawhide

    Don't try tabulate 'em
    Just laser, raster, slake'm
    Soon we'll be ride'n high and wide

    My hearts calculating
    My true love will be waiting
    Be waiting at the end of my RIDE

    (snippet from Rawhide lyrics by Ned Washington)
