The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter family wishes you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons.

O Ingenuity

O Ingenuity, O Mars Heli
How lovely are thy rotors
O Ingenuity, O Mars Heli
How lovely are thy rotors

Your coat, so silvery in Martian light
Keep you warm, in Winter Time
O Ingenuity, O Mars Heli
How lovely are thy rotors

Their design lifts faithfully
Our trust in them unchangedly
O Ingenuity, O Mars Heli
How lovely are thy rotors
