Starship Unity Lyrics by Julia Ecklar

Rise Again - The Lost Concert

2021

Me daddy is the skipper of the liner Unity
And me and mama live on board to bear him company
And I am of an age where I am anxious for to wed
I must choose a crewman who will win approval from me dad

Now, Johnny's fair and Johnny's fine, and wants me for to wed
And I would marry Johnny, but me father up and said
"I hate to tell you, daughter, what your mother never knew-"
"Yon tentacled mess is a son o'mine, and so is kin to you"

Well Jimmy's fine with shiny scales and sweet as he can be
And I would marry Jimmy, but me father said to me-
"I hate to tell you, daughter, what your mama nеver knew-"
"Yon hatchling is an egg of minе, and so is kin to you"

Now Zarin's fine and nine feet tall and covered with purple hair
And I would marry Zarin, but me father said "Beware-"
"I hate to tell ya daughter dear, that it's the same old tale"
"And rememberin' what his ma looked like, I'm not sure he's a male"

Well, Billy's mostly light and air, and rather hard to see
At least it doesn't look as if he's any kin to me!
I said as much to father, who said "Darlin', don't be flip - and never underestimate the captain of the ship"

I'll be the first to say me father's life has not been dull
I'm probably related to the mice within the hall
I note a certain likeness to the servile robot crew-
The seven starboard lifeboats, and the ship's computer too

Was ever there a maiden in so sad a fix as this?
If all me father says is true, I'll die a single miss
For every unwed lad on board is my own brother true
I'll go to my mother and I'll ask her what to do

"Now tidy your antennae, girl, and comb your hair so blue
I've taught you that a skipper is a father to his crew
He's doubtless laid each female in the galaxy and still-
He's not the critter who fathered you, so marry who you will!"
