Somewhere, after the Wormhole
Skies are Black
Stars shine out of my viewscreen
Oh, how it's good to chegh (return/be back)


Deep Space, Odo and Sisko
Prom-e-nade
I like Quark's and some Dabo
Romulan Lemonade

I wish that I, ike Worf could try
That special Klingon Battle Cry...AHHHHIIIIIIIII!
Or climb in to a Jeffries Tube
And fix a warp core breach or two
Like Miiiilesss and Scooooottyyyyyy


When I graduate Star Fleet
I will cry
But, I also will hope that...

...I get the Enterprise!
