| The | A Trek | kies have invaded; they’re | D ev | erywhere you go. |
| And | C ev | ery bardic circle is a rerun Star Trek show. |
| They | A crow | about the | Enterprise | and | D croon | to Captain Kirk. |
| I’d | C love | to find some way to cure this | E an | ti-social quirk. |
| Chorus: |
|
They sing the same old songs that we’ve been tired of for years,
Then add a few new verses to make sure we’re bored to tears.
This StarFleet starship stardrive Star Trek drivel makes me see:
The only stars a Trekkie wants are those seen on TV.
Calm down, it’s only “Banned from Argo”.
Calm down, it’s only Kirk and Spock.
Calm down, and sing some normal filksongs.
Please realize how sick we are of all your Trekkie schlock.
The Trekkie faction’s growing; the day may be at hand
When I have had about as much of Trek as I can stand.
I’d rather be a renegade and drown them all in ose.
Those Star Trek songs annoy me ’cause they’re always too verbose.
Calm down, it’s only “Banned from Argo”.
Calm down, it’s only Kirk and Spock.
Calm down, and sing some normal filksongs.
Please realize how sick we are of all your Trekkie schlock.
I think I’ll go to TimeCon and infiltrate their ranks.
I’ll undertake a noble task for which I’ll get no thanks,
And educate the heathens, and when I’ve gotten through,
Those Star Trek fans will sing the songs that normal filkers do.
Calm down, it’s only “Banned from Argo”.
Calm down, it’s only Kirk and Spock.
Calm down, and sing some normal filksongs.
I haven’t heard one Dorsai song since nine or ten o’clock.
| We | C did | one werewolf love song and I | E al | most died of shock. |
| Please | C re | alize how sick we are of | E all | your Trekkie schlock. |
| Oh, | A yes | . |
