Goodbye Captain Kirk,

Oh you'll be missed and that's a fact.

You were captain of the Enterprise

When half the bridge crew couldn't act.

Every episode your wit

And charisma you'd inject,

Though they only had three story lines,

And about one sound effect.


And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind,

Never knowing who to cling to

When the set fell in.

Coz the bridge was made of plywood,

With some duct tape here and there.

Though it looked quite realistic when

Set off against your hair.


Each week you'd boldly go

Where no man had gone before,

Though every planet that you visited

Had the same three rocks I'm sure.

And you'd get a different girlfriend

Of a different alien race.

You never seemed put off by

All the prosthetics on her face.


And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind,

Never knowing who to cling to

When the set fell in.

And you'd beam down to the planet.

Spock and Bones came too.

And you always took another bloke,

So that he'd get killed, not you.


Goodbye Captain Kirk,

Oh you'll be missed and no mistake.

You went on a five year mission,

And you were always on the make.

Goodbye Captain Kirk,

You randy little sod.

Now you'll chat up all the angels;

Just try to remember, you're not God!


And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind,

Never knowing who to cling to

When the set fell in.

Now you're beaming up to Heaven

For the final thrill.

Your candle burned out long before

Your sex drive ever will.


Your candle burned out long before

Your sex drive ever will.
