Red Shirt
Red Shirt
They used to say "never beam down in a red shirt"
Now I know why - only the extras get hurt!
One day I'd like to climb the ranks and be an Admiral
Their role is small – but at least they're not expendable
My phaser never seems to work
But the crew just don't seem to care
Every time there's trouble on the surface
I'm the one they send down there
Hey Scotty get me out of here
Sulu dude I'm feeling queer
Uhura baby open up that hailing frequency
Hey Chekov don't you understand?
Bones it's getting out of hand
Tell Mr. Spock to think about it logically
I know you all think I'm a jerk
That I don't wanna go to work
But, I don't wanna be a hero like Captain Kirk
They used to say "never beam down in a red shirt"
Maybe T.N.G's Picard can wear it like an expert
Me? I'd like to learn how to make it to next week!
But the producers they won't even allow me to speak!
My phaser never seems to work
But the crew just don't seem to care
Every time there's Tribble' on the surface
I'm the one they send down there
Hey Scotty get me out of here
Sulu dude I'm feeling queer
Uhura baby open up that hailing frequency
Hey Chekov don't you understand?
Bones it's getting out of hand
Tell Mr. Spock to think about it logically
I know you all think I'm a jerk
That I don't wanna go to work
But, I don't wanna be a hero like Captain Kirk
Hey Scotty work a miracle
Sulu don't be cynical
Uhura do that thing you do oh so well
Hey Chekov man what do you say?
Bones please cure my rainy day
Tell Mr. Spock to place me in a holding cell
I know you all think I'm a jerk
That I don't wanna go to work
But, I don't wanna be a hero like Captain Kirk
They used to say "never beam down in a red shirt"
Now I know why - only the extras get hurt!
One day I'd like to climb the ranks and be an Admiral
