- (To the tune of Piano Man by Billy Joel)
- * here is a midi file of Piano Man (7K) that you can download
- It's Nine O'Clock on the Enterprise
- The Ten-Forward crowd shuffles in.
- There's a bald man sitting next to me,
- Tugging hard on his tunic and pin.
- He says "Number One, can you play me a memory,"
- "I'm not really sure how it goes."
- "But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete,"
- "'Fore the Borg put things up my nose."
- Play us a song, you're the Number One,
- Play us a song, very sharp.
- We're all on the ship for eternity,
- And you got us reeling at warp.
- Now Worf at the bar is a friend of mine,
- He gives me chills with his grin.
- He's quick with a choke and throws a few pokes,
- But in fights, he'll never win.
- He says, "Will, I believe this is killing me."
- As he smiles, showing teeth of his race.
- "Well, I'm sure I could be a movie star,"
- "If I had another man's face."
- Play us a song, you're the Number One.
- Play us a song so sweet,
- We're all in the mood for some shore leave,
- And you've got us loving Starfleet.
- Now Bev is a medical practitioner,
- Who no longer is someone's wife.
- And she's talkin' with Geordi, who's sittin' with Barclay,
- And probably will be for life.
- And Guinan is practicing counseling,
- As Deanna becomes annoyed.
- Yes, they're sharing a job they call counseling,
- But it's better than being unemployed.
- (Instrumental)
- Play us a song, you're the Number One,
- Play us a song, so clean.
- We're all in the mood for a melody,
- And you've got us feeling serene.
- It's a pretty good crowd for a Stardate,
- But Deanna motions towards the door.
- 'Cause she knows it's me she's been wanting to see,
- Where no man has gone before.
- And my trombone sounds like a carnival,
- And the microphone smells like a beer,
- And they sit at the bar and gaze out at the stars,
- And say, "Man, there's no life out here."
- Oh la la la dee dah...
