In the not-too-distant past / Last Sunday AD / There was a guy named Will / Not too different from you or me / He did a segment called TV 101 / And there was a show that he really loved / He recorded an episode for its 25th year / But then he ended up gushing / And then it was so clear / If you can't wait to hear how it all started / And other history facts (la la la) / Then repeat to yourself, "It's just a show, / I should really just relax / For Mystery Science Theater 3000!"
