I’m a Red Shirt

TTTO “Oh, Susannah”.

(One of the tunes I know how to play)

I beamed down to this planet with a phaser in my hand,

But I’ve got this feeling suddenly that this might be the end

I wore this shirt, the color’s red

The planet, it was strange

But now I fear I might be dead

My fate I cannot change

[Chorus]

I’m a red shirt, I die when we all land

I’m speared or shot or mangled,

And my red blood stains the sand

I had a dream the other night,

When we were all aboard

I thought I heard them call me to me

“This planet’s unexplored

We need you to go down there

But you won’t be alone

The officers will be with you”

The comlink did so drone

[Chorus]

I soon will be in paradise

And then I’ll look all ‘round

And then I see the officers

Still safe upon the ground

These monsters though they killed me

Are now their friends you see

Although I’m dead and buried

They sure won’t cry for me

[Chorus]
