A Star Trek Star Shanty

There once was a ship that put to the skies

The name of the ship was the Enterprise

The warp went up, her bow dipped down

Oh beam me up, Scotty, beam (huh)

/

[CHORUS]

Soon may the Enterprise come

To seek out new civilizations

Explore strange worlds and boldly go

Where no man has gone before

/

She’d not been two weeks from Earth

When out of warp, the Reliant burst

The captain called all hands and cursed

He’d take that Khan in tow (huh)

/

[CHORUS]

Soon may the Enterprise come

To seek out new civilizations

Explore strange worlds and boldly go

Where no man has gone before

/

Before the torpedo left its launcher

The Reliant’s phasers fired and punched her

All hands Red Alert, torpedoed, lunged her

When she dived down low (huh)

/

[CHORUS]

Soon may the Enterprise come

To seek out new civilizations

Explore strange worlds and boldly go

Where no man has gone before

/

No phasers stopped, Khan was not freed

The captain’s mind was not of greed

And he belonged to the Starfleet creed

She took that ship in tow (huh)

/

[CHORUS]

Soon may the Enterprise come

To seek out new civilizations

Explore strange worlds and boldly go

Where no man has gone before

/

For forty minutes, even more

The phasers fired then stopped once more

Torpedoes were lost, there were only four

But still that Khan did go (huh)

/

[CHORUS]

Soon may the Enterprise come

To seek out new civilizations

Explore strange worlds and boldly go

Where no man has gone before

/

As far as I’ve heard, the fight’s still on

The phasers fire, and Khan’s not gone

The audience makes their regular call

To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)

/

[CHORUS x 2]

Soon may the Enterprise come

To seek out new civilizations

Explore strange worlds and boldly go

Where no man has gone before
