In the original Japanese version, the entire song is sung by Sal Out, while in the English version, it is mainly sung by Mike himself instead, with Sal Out only singing the "Go! Go! Go, go, Mike!" line.

(Go! Go! Go, go, Mike!)
(Go! Go! Go, go, Mike!)
My name is Mike, c'mon
Let's robo-karaoke!
(Rock the mic! Rock the mic!)
Get up on the stage and
sing a little ditty for me
(Rock the mic! Rock the mic!)
Off-key? No, not me
I'm a karaoke machine!
(Rock the mic!)
I've got two mics on my head
and you sing into me
(Rock the mic! Rock the mic!)
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna,
don't you wanna karaoke?
(Rock the mic! Rock the mic!)
Off-key? No, not me
I'm a karaoke machine!
(Rock the mic!)
