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
