lyrics

I’ve got a phaser and I’m going in
Don’t try to stop me – I mean it, Jim
I’m a he-man, not a mannequin
I’ve beamed down from the Enterprise

I’ve got a phaser and it’s set to stun
Yes. I said a phaser. It’s a kind of gun. If you’ve
got a five-year mission and you want it done
Beam us down from the Enterprise

I’ve got a phaser and a nylon shirt
and you look grrreat (babe) in your mini-skirt
and we all come from the planet Eart
by way of the Enterprise

I’ve got a Vulcan and I’m not afraid
of the Klingons and the mess they’ve made
or the bits in chunky orange marmalade
‘coz I’m the Captain and I’ve got gold braid
Round the sleeves of my nylon shirt

Mr Scott is our engineer. He’s
a lifeform, Jim, but he’s not from round here.
You can tell ‘coz his accent is so mighty queer.
He’s beamed us down from the Enterprise

My phaser grasped tightly in my hand
I play tricorder in a folk-rock band
We boldly go but we have nothing planned
on the Enterprise tonight.

I’ve got a Vulcan and I’m not afraid
of the Klingons and the mess they’ve made
or the bits in chunky orange marmalade
‘coz I’m the Captain and I’ve got gold braid
and my name is James T Kirk
