Love theme from MST3K 513

This is the theme song for MST3K from Mike's first episode, "The Brain that wouldn't die", the door sequence is included.
The lyrics are as follows:
In the not-too-distant future
Way down in Deep 13,
Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank
Were hatching an Evil Scheme.
They hired a temp by the name of Mike,
Just a regular joe they didn't like.
Their experiment needed a good test case,
So they conked him on the noggin
And they shot him into space. (Get me down!)

We'll send him cheesy movies,
The worst we can find (la-la-la),
He'll have to sit and watch them all,
And we'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! (Show yourself!)
Gypsy! (I'm not ready!)
Tom Servo! (Hello there!)
Croooow! (That's one "o"!)

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

@CWR63 Sorry, it was Keenan Wynn (The Great Race) not Lee Van Cleef, and he was a Colonel, not a Sargent.

Before I figured out that Crow was saying "That's one O" I had always thought it was a reference to Lee Van Cleef's character in Dr. Strangelove, "Bats guano". Peter Sellers: "Well, Sargent...(looks at Cleef's name insignia)...Batguano, if that is your real name."
