*START CHORUS*

It's a 1960's future
I drive a hovercar, a robot does all my chores
It's a 1960's future
Why don't you come and visit us here, living up on Mars?
Living up on Ma-a-ars, mm-hmm!

*END CHORUS*

The local super-space-mart
Has everything you need
From polystyrene clothing
To neon coloured tweed
It's only half a light year
So get in your spaceship and go
Just off Spaceway eighty-one
For prices lower than low

-- CHORUS --

My holographic TV's
Projecting in 3D
There's a hundred thousand channels
But there's nothing much to see
The signal's always crystal clear
Whether shows are recorded or live
But even in the future
You still can't get channel five

-- CHORUS --

Our modern gaming consoles
Transmit straight to your brain
You can smell the flowers, taste the food
And get wet in the rain
There's nothing they can't synthesize
From aliens to elves
And if you simply want to watch
They'll play all by themselves

-- CHORUS --

We've got GM crops and cloning
So we're never short of food
And a robot chef to cook it all
If we aren't in the mood
There's a robot for the washing up
And one to mow the lawn
We've even got a robot
To switch other robots on

-- CHORUS --

We holiday on Venus
To catch the summer sun
The planet has been terraformed
You're sure to have some fun
You can trek around the surface
To catch the scenic views
Or if you are more affluent
You can take a solar cruise

It's a 1960's future
I drive a hovercar, a robot does all my chores
It's a 1960's future
Why don't you come and visit us here, living up on Mars?
Living up on Ma-a-ars
Living up on Ma-a-ars
[Higher] Living up on Ma-ars!
