Star trek
Space ship
Starfleets
Captain
James Kirk
His crew
Spock's from
Vulcan.
Scotty,
Sulu,
Chekov.
Blast off.
Hold tight
full warp.
Where to
New worlds.
How long
five years
deep space
Explore
planets.
Places
no man
has gone
before.
Slow down
Locate,
Transport
us down
Searching
for life.
Strange noise,
turn round
danger
lurking
near by.
Fearsome
creatures,
run for
cover
fast as
we can.
Beam us
up now
Scotty.
On board
relief.
Captain
records
in Log,
time date
Where we
have searched,
escaped
all safe.
Onwards
deeper
into
darkness,
only
starlight
guides us
towards
mankinds
dreams of
finding
others
in our
likeness.
Mission's
Over,
the search
goes on.
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
