It seems almost embarrassing to admit this, but I did this filk, see, of
_Bohemian Rhapsody_, a play in five or so acts, all about the day Worf
finally snapped and took over the Enterprise (never happened, but it damn
well should have!)...
Scene One: The Engine Room
- Geordie: Is this the warp drive
- Is this machinery
- Caught in a fast dive
- No escape from the gravity
- Switch on your probe
- Look down at the globe and see
- I'm just a blind boy
- Aided prosthetically
- Because I clearly see, clearly know
- Enterprise flying low
- Can you hear the wind blow
- Bashing through the bulkheads
- To me, to me
Scene Two: The Bridge
- Troi: The Klingon is in command
- Has a turtle on his head
- Looks ridiculous in red
- Klingons, I can sense it now
- Are not content to sit at ops all day
- Worfie, ooh
- Didn't mean to make you growl
- I'm glad you shot Picard and William Riker
- Carry on, carry on
- (Let your navigating doom us)
Scene Three: The Engine Room
- Sent shivers through the hull
- All the readouts going dull
- Good bye, everybody
- We've got to go
- Got to leave the stars behind
- And crash the ship
- Troi: Klingon, ooh
- I don't wanna die
- I sometimes wish you'd studied those damn controls
A light lights up on a console.
- Geordie: I see a little sillhouetto of a ship
- Red alert, red alert, will you answer my mayday
- Planetary lightning, very very frightening me
- Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo Shuttlecraft
- I'd better go
- I'm just a blind boy, making a getaway
- Troi: He's just a blind boy, running for a shuttle bay
- Spare him his life from this mad mutiny
Scene Four: The Shuttlecraft Galileo
- Geordie: Tractor beam, locking on, will you let me go
- Worf: Quvatlh, no, I will not let you go
- Troi: Let him go
- Worf: Quvatlh, I will not let you go
- Troi: Let him go
- Worf: Quvatlh, I will not let you go
- Geordie: Let me go
- Worf: Will not let you go
- Geordie: Let me go
- Worf: Will not let you go
- Geordie: Let me go, oh
- Worf: No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Geordie: Oh Leah Brahms, Leah Brahms
Tell me where I ought to go
Doc Heisenberg has a theory put aside
For me, for me, for me
He spins off into space and is lost forever.
Scene Five: The Bridge
- Picard: So you think you can stun me and capture my craft
- So you think you can beat me and give me the shaft
- Oh, baby
- Can't do this to my baby
- Just gotta win out, just gotta get you out of here
A battle; Worf is shot.
Epilogue: The Shuttlecraft Galileo
- Geordie: Nothing's really matter
- Anyone can see
- Nothing's really matter, nothing's really matter, but me
Curtain.
There. Now you know why I'm embarrassed. What a shame money isn't
electronic, or you could all pay me not to do it again.
