Verse 1
This year has been a little crazy for the Andersons
You may recall we had some trouble last year
The robot council had us banished to an asteroid
That hasn't undermined our holiday cheer.
Pre-chorus 1
And we know it's almost Christmas by the marks we make on the wall.
That's our favorite time of year.
Chorus
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime,
Where we're working in a mine for our robot overlords.
Did I say overlords? I meant protectors.
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime.

Verse 2
On every corner there's a giant metal Santa Claus,
Who watches over us with glowing red eyes.
They carry weapons and they know if you've been bad or good.
Not everybody's good but everyone tries.
Pre-chorus 2
And the rocks outside the airlock exude ammonia-scented snow.
It's like a Winter Wonderland.
Chorus
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime,
Where we're working in a mine for our robot overlords.
Did I say overlords? I meant protectors.
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime.
[Keyboard solo. Same chords as Chorus]

Verse 3
That's all the family news that we're allowed to talk about.
We really hope you'll come and visit us soon.
I mean we're literally begging you to visit us.
And make it quick before they [MESSAGE REDACTED].
Pre-chorus 3
Now it's time for Christmas dinner - I think the robots sent us a pie!
You know I love my soylent green.
Chorus
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime,
Where we're working in a mine for our robot overlords.
Did I say overlords? I meant protectors.
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime.
