It was a warm summer’s night when I sat down to write
 The prettiest song ever written about Star Trek

The sky was clear
 Full of stars above
 I thought of Kirk and his crew
 And their mission of love
 And I sang the first verse
 Of the prettiest song ever written about Star Trek

When the words came out
 Everything was wrong
 For those who’d boldly go
 Had already gone
 ‘Cause the show was cancelled 
 And the dream was dead
 And a red alert started wailing in my head
 And I realized I had written
 The saddest song ever written
 About Star Trek

Now the sky was dark
 Devoid of love
 And Roddenberry’s ashes were floating up above 
 Raining down on a man
 Singing the saddest song ever written about Star Trek

And now Bones is nothing but bones
 He finally went and took his final voyage home
 And Scotty’s body just couldn’t take much more
 And I’m sure this is the saddest 
 Song ever written about Star Trek

I thought about space
 And the final frontier
 And I shed a tear as I finished 
 The saddest song ever written about Star Trek
