"Theme from Star Trek" (The Original Series)
Lyrics by Gene Roddenberry
Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.

"The Goodland" 1:05
from TOS "The Way to Eden"
sung by Adam
Lookin' for the goodland,
Goin' astray.
Don't cry,
Don't cry.
Oh I can't have honey
And I can't have cream
Goin' live not die,
Goin' live not die.
Standin' in the middle of it all one day.
Look at it shining around me and say.
I'm here,
I'm here.
In the goodland,
in the new land,
I'm here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Out There!" 2:35
from TOS "The Way to Eden"
sung by Adam and blonde female friend
I'm talkin' 'bout you,
I'm talkin' 'bout me.
Long time back when the galaxy was new.
Man found out what he had to do.
Found he had to eat and he found he had to drink,
And a long time later he found he had to think.
Yes, think.
[I'm standing here wondering -- What?]
If a man tells another man,
How to mow hay.
He piles up trouble for himself all day.
But all kinds of trouble will come to an end.
When a man tells another man,
Be my friend.
My friend.
[Well what's it going to be?]
There's a mile wide emptiness,
Between you and me.
[Let's|Can't] reach across it,
[On an even sea|Hardly even see].
Someone ought'a take a step,
One way or other.
Let's say goodbye,
Or let's say brother.
Brother!
Brother!
Hey out there...
Hey out there.
Hey out there...
Hey out there.
I see you...
I see you.
I see you...
I see you.
Let's get together and have some fun.
[I don't know how to do it,
But it's gotta be done.]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Heading Out to Eden" 1:35
from TOS "The Way to Eden"
sung by Adam and blonde female friend
Heading out to Eden,
Yeah brother.
Heading out to Eden,
No more trouble
In my body or my mind.
Goin' to live like a king
On whatever I find.
Eat all the fruit
And throw away the rind.
Yeah brother, yeah.
Steppin' in to Eden,
Yeah brother.
Steppin' in to Eden,
Yeah brother.
No more trouble
In my body or my mind.
Goin' to live like a king
On whatever I find.
Eat all the fruit
And throw away the rind.
Yeah brother.
note: The two verses are separated by dialogue. The first half is sung slow,
about 1:05. The second is sung faster.

"Charlie's Song"
from TOS "Charlie X"?
sung by Uhura
Now on the Starship Enterprise
There [comes a man|is someone who's] in Satan's guise
Whose devil ears and devil eyes
Will rip your heart from you ...
At first his look will hypnotise
And then his touch will barbarize
His alien love will victimize
And rip your heart from you.
And that's why female astronauts
[Are overcome and overwrought|Oh very female astronauts]
[Many a female astronaut|Wait terrified and over-wrought]
[They know not|To find out] what to he'll do.
Oh girls in space be wary
Be wary
Oh girls in space be wary
You know not what he'll do.
Now from a planet out in space
There comes a lad not commonplace
A-seeking out his first embrace
He's saving it for you.
Oh, Charlie's our new darling,
Our darling, our darling.
Charlie's our new darling
[He knows not what to do|We know not what he'll do]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Friendly Angel Song"
from TOS "And The Children Shall Lead"
sung by The Children
Hail, hail,
Fire and snow.
Call the angel
We will go.
Far away.
For to see.
Friendly Angel
Come to me.
Hail, hail,
Fire and snow.
Call the angel
We must go.
Far to come
Far to see
Friendly Angel
Come to me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Beyond Antares"
from TOS "Conscience of the King"
sung by Uhura
written (I think) by Gene Coon
The skies are green and glowing
Where my heart is,
Where my heart is,
Where the scented lunar flower is growing,
Somewhere beyond the stars,
Beyond Antares.
I'll be back
Though it takes forever.
Forever is just a day.
Forever is just another journey.
Tomorrow I'll stop along the way,
And let the years go fading
Where my heart is,
Where my heart is,
Where my love eternally is waiting,
Somewhere beyond the stars,
Beyond Antares.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alexander's Song"
from TOS "Plato's Stepchildren"
sung by Alexander
Great pan sounds his horn
Marking time to the rhyme
With his hoof,
With his hoof.
Forward, forward in [our|his] plan,
We proceed as we began....
Brekekekex... brekekekex...
Kooax... kooax...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A Serenade From the Laughing Spaceman"
from TOS "Plato's Stepchildren"
sung by Spock
Take care young ladies and value your wine.
Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime.
Deeply they'll swallow from your finest kegs,
Then swiftly be gone, leaving bitter dregs.
Ah, bitter dregs.
Your time hold precious, for youth is your gold.
Your beauty, like silver, will tarnish when old.
Mem'ries and dreams shall comfort you not.
When the flow of your sweetness is gone and forgot.
Ah, gone and forgot.
With smiling words and tender touch,
Man offers little and asks for so much.
He['ll] love[s] in the breathless excitement of night,
[Then|And] leave[s] with your treasure in cold morning light.
Ah, [in] cold morning light.
Come all ye fair and tender girls
Who flourish in your prime,
Beware, beware, make your garden fair
Let no man steal your time, your time
Let no man steal your time.
A woman is a branched tree
And a man a singing wind,
And from her branches carelessly
He'll take what he can find, can find
He'll take what he can find.
And when your time has passed and gone,
He'll care no more for you,
And every day that your garden is waste,
Is covered all over with rue, with rue
Is covered all over with rue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(untitled)
from TOS "Plato's Stepchildren"
sung by Kirk (and Spock?)
I'm Tweedledee, he's Tweedledum.
We're spacemen marching to and from.
We slythe among the mimsy troves,
And tire among the borogroves.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Good Night Sweetheart"
from TOS "City on the Edge of Forever"
heard on radio (and melody continues throughout episode)
Good Night Sweetheart, tho' I'm not beside you
Good Night Sweetheart, still my love will guide you
Dreams enfold you, in each one I'll hold you
Good Night Sweetheart, Good Night.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen"
from TOS "The Naked Time"
sung by Kevin Reiley (calling himself "O'Reiley")
I'll take you home again, Kathleen,
Across the ocean wild and wide,
To where your heart has ever been,
Since first you were my bonnie bride.
The roses all have left your cheek,
I've watched them fade away and die;
Your voice is sad whene'er you speak,
And tears bedim your loving eyes.
Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen,
To where your heart will feel no pain,
And when the fields are fresh and green,
I'll take you to your home again.
(One More Time!!!)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Abdullah Bulbul Amir"
from TNG "Brothers"
sung by Lore (only a few lines)
[version 1]
The sons of the Prophet as valiant and bold,
And quite unaccustomed to fear;
And the bravest of all was a man, so I'm told
Called Abdullah Bulbul Amir.
When they wanted a man to encourage the van,
Or harass the foe from the rear,
Storm fort or redoubt, they were sure to call out
For Abdullah Bulbul Amir.
There are heroes in plenty, and well known to fame,
In the legions that fight for the Czar;
But none of such fame as the man by the name
Of Ivan Petrovsky Skovar.
He could imitate Irving, tell fortunes by cards,
And play on the Spanish guitar;
In fact, quite the cream of the Muscovite guards,
Was Ivan Petrovsky Skovar.
One day this bold Muscovite shouldered his gun,
Put on his most cynical sneer,
And was walking downtown when he happened to run
Into Abdullah Bulbul Amir.
"Young man," say Bulbul, "is existence so dull
That you're anxious to end your career?
Then, infidel, know you have trod on the toe
Of Abdullah Bulbul Amir.
"So take your last look at the sea, sky and brook,
Make your latest report on the war;
For I mean to imply that you are going to die,
O Ivan Petrovsky Skovar."
So this fierce man he took his trusty chibouk,
and murmuring "Allah Akbar!"
With murder intent he most savagely went
For Ivan Petrovsky Skovar.
The Sultan rose up, the disturbance to quell
Likewise, give the victor a cheer.
He arrived just in time to bid hasty farewell
To Abdullah Bulbul Amir.
A loud-sounding splash from the Danube was heard
Resounding o'er meadows afar;
It came from the sack fitting close to the back
Of Ivan Petrovsky Skovar.
There lieth a stone where the Danube doth roll,
And on it in characters queer
Are "Stranger, when passing by, pray for the soul
Of Abdullah Bulbul Amir."
A Muscovite maiden her vigil doth keep
By the light of the pale northern star,
And the name she repeats every night in her sleep
Is Ivan Petrovsky Skovar.
[version 2]
The sons of the Prophet were brave men and bold,
And quite unaccustomed to fear.
But the bravest of all was a man I am told
Named Abdullah Bulbul Ameer.
When they needed a man to encourage the van
Or harass a foe from the rear.
Storm fort or redoubt they had only to shout
For Abdullah Bulbul Ameer.
This son of the desert in battle aroused
Could split twenty men on his spear.
A terrible creature when sober or soused
Was Abdullah Bulbul Ameer.
The heroes were plenty and well known to fame
That fought in the ranks of the Czar.
But the greatest of these was a man by the name
Of Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.
He could imitate Irving, play poker or pool
And strum on the Spanish guitar.
In fact quite the cream of the Muscovite team
Was Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.
The ladies all loved him, his rivals were few
He could drink them all under the bar.
Come gallant or tank there was no one to rank
With Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.
One day this bold Russian had shouldered his gun
And donned his most truculent sneer.
Downtown he did go where he trod on the toe
Of Abdullah Bulbul Ameer.
"Young man", quoth Bulbul, "Has your life grown so dull
That you're eager to end your career?
Vile infidel know you have trod on the toe
Of Abdullah Bulbul Ameer."
"So take your last look at the sunshine and brook
And send your regrets to the Czar.
By this I imply you are going to die,
Mr. Ivan Skavinsky Skivar."
Said Ivan, "My friend, your remarks in the end
Will avail you but little, I fear.
For you ne'er will survive to repeat them alive,
Mr. Abdullah Bulbul Ameer."
Then this bold Mamalouk drew his trusty skibouk
With a cry of "Allah Akbar".
And with murderous intent he ferociously went
For Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.
They parried and thrust, they sidestepped and cussed
Of blood they spilled a great lot.
The philologist blokes, who seldom crack jokes,
Say that hash was first made on that spot.
They fought all that night 'neath the pale yellow moon,
The din it was heard from afar.
And multitudes came, so great was the fame,
Of Abdul and Ivan Skivar.
As Abdul's long knife was extracting the life,
In fact he had shouted, "Huzzah!"
He felt himself struck by that wily Calmuck,
Count Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.
The Sultan drove by in his red-crested fly,
Expecting the victor to cheer.
But he only drew nigh just to hear the last sigh
Of Abdullah Bulbul Ameer.
Czar Petrovich too, in his spectacles blue
Drove up in his new crested car.
He arrived just in time to exchange a last line
With Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.
A tomb rises up where the Blue Danube rolls,
And 'graved there in characters clear,
Is "Stranger when passing, oh pray for the soul
Of Abdullah Bulbul Ameer."
A splash in the Black Sea one dark moonless night,
Caused ripples to spread near and far.
It was made by a sack fitting close to the back
Of Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.
A Muscovite maiden her lone vigil keeps,
'Neath the light of the pale polar star.
And the name that she murmurs so oft as she weeps
Is Ivan Skavinsky Skivar.

"The Minstril Boy"
Sung by O'Brien with his captain
from TNG "The Wounded"
The minstrel boy to the war has gone,
In the ranks of death you will find him.
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him.
Lands of songs said the warrior-bard,
Though all the world bestrays thee.
One sword at least thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Come Cheer Up My Lads"
Sung by Picard's clone (in Ten Forward)
from TNG "Allegiance"
Come cheer up my lads, 'tis to glory we steer,
To add something new to this wonderful year;
To honour we call you, not press you like slaves,
For who are so free as the sons of the waves?
Heart of Oak are our ships, Heart of Oak are our men,
We always are ready.
Steady, boys, steady,
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.
We ne'er meet our foes but we wish them to stay,
They never see us but they wish us away;
If they run, why, we follow, and run them ashore,
For if they won't fight us, we cannot do more.
Heart of Oak are out ships, Heart of Oak are our men,
We always are ready.
Steady, boys, steady,
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Banned from Argo" (there are a few variations in different versions)
by Leslie Fish
When we pulled into Argo in search of R & R
Our crew set out investigating every joint and bar
We had high expectations of their hospitality
But found too late it wasn't geared for spacers such as we
CHORUS:
And we're...banned from Argo, every one
Banned from Argo, just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shore leave there for just 3 days or 4
But Argo doesn't want us anymore
Our captain's tastes were simple but his methods were complex
He found him with five partners, each of a different world and sex
The shore police were on the way, we had no second chance
We beamed him up in the nick of time in the remnants of his pants
CHORUS
Our engineer would yield to none in putting down the brew
He outdrank 7 space marines and a demolition crew
The navigator didn't win but he outdrank almost all
And now they've got a shuttlecraft on the roof of city hall
CHORUS
Our proper, cool first officer was drugged with something green
And hauled into an alley where he suffered things obscene
He sobered up in sickbay and he's none the worse for wear
Except he somehow taught the bridge computer how to swear
CHORUS
The head nurse disappeared a while in the major [dope] bazaar
Buying an odd green liquid guaranteed to cause Pon-farr.
She came home with no uniform, and an oddly cheerful heart
And a painful way of walking with her feet a yard apart
CHORUS
Our lady of communications won a ship-wide bet
By getting into the planet's main communications net
Now, every time someone calls upon an Argo telescreen
The flesh is there, but the clothes they wear are nowhere to be seen
(Yaah!)
CHORUS
Our doctor loves humanity, his private life is quiet
The shore police arrested him for inciting whores to riot.
They found him in the city jail, locked on and beamed him free
Intact except for hickies, and 6 kinds of V.D.
CHORUS
(Gee, I wonder why?)
Our helmsman loves exotic plants, and the plants all love him too
He took some down on leave with him, and we wondered what they'd do
Till the planetary governor called and swore upon his life
That a gang of plants entwined his house, and then seduced his wife
CHORUS
A gang of pirates landed and nobody seemed to care
They stomped into the nearest bar to announce that they were there
(We're here!)
Half our crew was busy there and invited them to play
The pirates only looked at us, and turned and ran away
CHORUS
Our crew is Starfleet's finest, and our record is our pride
And when we play we tend to leave a trail a mile wide
We're sorry 'bout the wreckage and the riots and the fuss
At least we're sure that planet won't be quick forgetting us
CHORUS
(I wonder why?)
(Did we do something wrong?)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Twenty Years of Pointy Ears"
(sung to the tune of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again")
From sixty-six to sixty-nine
There was a show
About the Starship Enterprise
As we all know
With funny ears, and Beetle boots,
And phaser guns that WE COULD SHOOT,
But Trek... got... canned...
'Cause the ratings were so low.
Letters from the fans didn't get
The show's fourth season on,
The Star Trek crew, now unemployed,
Made cash at sci-fi cons.
When the ranks of Trekkies grew and grew,
We noticed that some fans do to,
'Cause they nibble... just like tribbles...
While they're watching Trek re-runs.
The fans all got together for
A new write-in campaign,
To get a TV movie made,
But not one like "Spock's Brain"!
The network told them "GO TO HELL!",
But then found Star Trek toys sold well;
But there's... no... mar... ket
In sci-fi films today.
(Just then when things seemed darkest,
There was a light... saber.)
The highest grossing movie in the
World is called Star Wars;
They read through the old Star Trek scripts, then
Wrote one that's a bore.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture's trash, but
It should make a lotta cash:
The crew will wear pajamas
And we'll make one of them bald.
(It's making money! Quick! Let's make a sequel!)
<Well, we have this other old script called... what is it?>
(Space Seed?)
<Yeah, Ricardo Montalban just happens to be on the back lot doing a
Cordoba commercial -- [de plane! de plane!] -- so you know what
that means, don't you?>
[Duh, what?]
STAR... TREK... TWO!!!
We'll kill off Khan, and kill off Spock, and
Make them cry, you'll see!
We'll sell them Star Trek handkerchiefs, and
then make Star Trek three!
Kirk has a wife, and has a son; we'll
Sell them dolls of everyone.
Janiss... iss... is a bomb that's lots of fun.
... Unlike Star Trek one.
(Shut up!)
Hey, wait a minute, looky here, there's
Money to be made
On model kits and other shit like
Gum cards they can trade;
They'll wonder if Spock's dead, ya see; we'll
Sell the rights to PAY TEE VEE,
And with... the... mo... ney, we'll make Star Trek three.
(Great. Just great. Now Nimoy won't come back!)
<Bribe him. Tell him he can direct it.>
(But he's dead, Jim!)
<As a director too, but don't worry; people will come just to see
if Spock lives, bless his little pointy-ears.>
STAR... TREK... THREE!!!
With Captain Kirk, and Mister Spock, and
Doc... Mick... Coy, (Oh boy!)
With Scotty, Checkov, UH-hoo-rah, and
Soo... loo... too, (Oh boy!)
And Saavik's gonna join the crew, but
Not the one from Star Trek Two,
And May... jell... who... is Roddenberry's wife.
It took a while, but Paramount has
Now... turned... face,
With Indy films, and Trek films about
Ou... ter... space;
Trek Four will make their wallets fat, with
Trek time-trips and Saavik's brat:
An an... ni... ver... s'ry gift for all the fans!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ anyone have the lyrics to:
any of the other songs (like Uhura's, for example) in TOS
the song Nichelle sung in ST5? --ed ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Star Trek songs can be found at grind.icaen.uiowa.edu in the
/info/humor/Filk directory.
Firebird Arts and Music (1-800-752-0494) sells several well-done Star Trek
tapes: _Spock Rock_, _Star Trek: The Unofficial Comedy Album_, and
_Border Patrol_. _Border Patrol_, if you haven't heard all the songs a
hundred times before hand like some of us, is an awesome tape. They're
working on a new Star Trek music tape to be released later this year or
next year called _To Boldly Go_.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both Shatner and Nimoy have attempted to sing and have a few albums out
(from the early 70s, I believe). They are *extremely* bad and only good
for comic relief.
Nichelle Nichols originally sang the tune Uhura was singing in ST5, but
TPTB decided a few days before the film was released to dub in Hiroshima
singing the song.
Brent Spiner has an album out titled something like "Old Yellow Eyes is
Back"
The band T'Pau (named after the Vulcan priestess from TOS "Amok Time")
claim they are not Star Trek fans; they just liked the name. DJs enjoy
putting a few lines from "Amok Time" during the opening of the song "Heart
and Soul" (McCoy: "Do you know who that is? That's T'Pau!" T'Pau:
"Thees ees da Voolcan heart; thees ees da Voolcan soul...")
The Minneapolis band (now based in New York) "Information Society" likes
putting Star Trek quotes in their songs. "Pure Energy" had Spock's line
"pure energy" (from the "Errand of Mercy") in it (and later releases of the
song have McCoy saying something like "we're not out of this yet"), "Think"
has Kirk saying "Think about it" (from "Mirror, Mirror"), "Something in the
Air" has a long scream (apparently taken from TOS), and there's another
song (the name escapes me) that has a line from Spock, Scott, or both.
Adam Nimoy (Leonard's son) is a fan and friend of the group.
Leonard Nimoy was on the cover of the Bangles' first album. He was also in
one or two of their videos from that album.
Susan Vega has a reference to Star Trek in one of her songs.
The German band Nena mentions "Captain Kirk" in their songs "99 Luft-
balloons" and "99 Red Balloons".
