Oh Uhura - To Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah

There was a Starship Enterprise, It was the ruler of the skies, But you don't really care for sci-fi, do you? With Captain Kirk And Mr Spock And don’t forget the trademark jock, And there upon the bridge you’ll find Uhura Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura You’ll find Bones Macoy down in sickbay, “I’m a doctor Jim” he’d say, And cure whatever space bug ran through you, He’ll banish away every cough, Even if your name’s Chekov, Or perhaps you might be sweet Uhura Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura To make the starship up and go, The man you really need to know, Is the Helm officer called Sulu, But if it’s a message you’d like to send, Then of course you can depend, Upon the talented Miss Uhura, Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura Your voyage lasted three short years But despite the trekkie’s fears, It wouldn’t be the last time that we’d view you, Of feature films there’d be twelve, Before the franchise they would shelve, But we won’t forget you dear Uhura Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura Oh Uhura
