Beam Me Up, Scotty
I was in the car with the 'rents last night and they played this song on the radio. I'd heard it before, but I still love it.
I'm sitting here in my Jockey's,
And my last clean pair of socks.
Just me, a Bud, and some Froot Loops,
And reruns on the Magnavox.
There's a pile of final notices
In my mailbox.
Now the President, he's telling me
The recession came and went.
Nobody got broke,
We only got bent.
So how come my phone's still off,
And I can't pay my rent?
Beam me up, Scotty,
Beam me aboard.
I'm just a poor old Trekie
In a world I can't afford.
All my life supports have failed,
All the other ships have sailed.
Beam me up Scotty,
Beam me up.
Listen, can't you
Hear me, Enterprise,
Can't you see I'm on the run?
They're coming for me,
I can hear them knocking. . .
Set the phasers to stun.
Now, the Klingons, they came last night,
And they repossessed my van.
My Cerrillian brandy's all used up:
This is my last can.
But I ain't giving up, no way,
'Cause I still have a plan!
Beam me up, Scotty,
Beam me up.
Beam me up, Scotty,
Beam me aboard.
I'm just a poor old Trekie
In a world I can't afford.
All my life supports have failed,
All the other ships have sailed.
Beam me up Scotty,
Beam me up.
