Safe and sound on Earth again, let the waters roar, Spock.

Safe and sound on Earth again, let the waters roar, Spock.

Long we’ve warped on the star-struck main, now we’re safe ashore, Spock.

Don’t forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe!

/

Since we sailed from Earth Spacedock, five years gone or nigh, Spock.

Was there ever chummies, now, such as you and I, Spock?

Long we’ve warped on the star-struck main, now we’re safe ashore, Spock.

Don’t forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe!

/

We have walked the self-same bridge, Enterprise division.

Captain I and First Mate you, through the whole commission.

Long we’ve warped on the star-struck main, now we’re safe ashore, Spock.

Don’t forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe!

/

Oftentimes have we laid out, toil nor danger fearing,

Charging up the warp nacelles to the subspace earring.

Long we’ve warped on the star-struck main, now we’re safe ashore, Spock.

Don’t forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe!

/

When the middle watch was on, through the dullest work, boy,

Who could choose a rousing stave, who like Spock or Kirk, boy?

Long we’ve warped on the star-struck main, now we’re safe ashore, Spock.

Don’t forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe!

/

There she lies, an empty hulk, not a soul at work now.

Number seven starboard mess misses Spock and Kirk now.

Long we’ve warped on the star-struck main, now we’re safe ashore, Spock.

Don’t forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe!

/

But the best of friends must part, fair or foul the weather.

Point your fingers in that shape, now live long together.

Long we’ve warped on the star-struck main, now we’re safe ashore, Spock.

Don’t forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe!

Long we’ve warped on the star-struck main, now we’re safe ashore, Spock.

Don’t forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe!
