Space Shanty Lyrics by Misbehavin’ Maidens

Swearing is Caring

2019

[Verse 1]
It was Wednesday morn when we engaged
Boldly going places man has never known
When up on the Bridge, they spied a Romulan ship
Far away from the Neutral Zone
[Chorus]
And the planets they do roll, And the distant stars they glow
And we poor Ensigns are running round the ship
While civilians they lie down below (below, below)
While civilians they lie down below
[Verse 2]
Up spoke Number One of the Enterprise
And he was a handsomе bearded man
He straddlеd a chair with his very long legs
And said, "Captain do we have a plan?"
[Chorus]
And the planets they do roll, And the distant stars they glow
And we poor Ensigns are running round the ship
While civilians they lie down below (below, below)
While civilians they lie down below
[Verse 3]
Up spoke the Captain of the Enterprise
And a well-spoken man was he
"I don't want to tangle with the Romulans
I would rather drink my hot Earl Grey tea!"
[Chorus]
And the planets they do roll, And the distant stars they glow
And we poor Ensigns are running round the ship
While civilians they lie down below (below, below)
While civilians they lie down below
[Verse 4]
Up spoke the doctor of the Enterprise
She was a strong willed woman in blue
She said, "Captain come on, you have to run this ship
All the crew is depending on you!"
[Chorus]
And the planets they do roll, And the distant stars they glow
And we poor Ensigns are running round the ship
While civilians they lie down below (below, below)
While civilians they lie down below
[Verse 5]
Up spoke Lt. Commander of the Enterprise
And a curious android was he
"Can someone please explain why this Romulan ship
Has decided to break the treaty?"
[Chorus]
And the planets they do roll, And the distant stars they glow
And we poor Ensigns are running round the ship
While civilians they lie down below (below, below)
While civilians they lie down below
[Verse 6]
Up spoke the pilot of the Enterprise
And a nerdy little genius was he
He said, "I think that we should..."
"Shut up Wesley!!"
[Chorus]
And the planets they do roll, And the distant stars they glow
And we poor Ensigns are running round the ship
While civilians they lie down below (below, below)
While civilians they lie down below
[Verse 7]
Up spoke the engineer of the Enterprise
And his visor was really high-tech
"I hope that this conflict doesn't take that long
I’ve a date waiting on the holodeck."
[Chorus]
And the planets they do roll, And the distant stars they glow
And we poor Ensigns are running round the ship
While civilians they lie down below (below, below)
While civilians they lie down below
[Verse 8]
Up spoke the counselor of the Enterprise
And a very pretty empath was she
"There's a Romulan vessel outside of this ship
And I sense the Romulans are angry"
[Chorus]
And the planets they do roll, And the distant stars they glow
And we poor Ensigns are running round the ship
While civilians they lie down below (below, below)
While civilians they lie down below
[Verse 9]
Up spoke Security on the Enterprise
And a very moody Klingon was he
He said--
"Klingons do not sing space shanties."
[Chorus]
And the planets they do roll, And the distant stars they glow
And we poor Ensigns are running round the ship
While civilians they lie down below (below, below)
While civilians they lie down below
[Chorus]
And the planets they do roll, And the distant stars they glow
And we poor Ensigns are running round the ship
While civilians they lie down below (below, below)
While civilians they lie down below
