| Parody Song Title: | "The Redshirts Died Tonight" |
| Parody Written by: | Psycho Librarian |
On the planet, the hostile planet,
The Redshirts died tonight.
Rocks exploded, shuttles imploded,
The Redshirts died tonight.
CHORUS
Theyallaredead, theyallaredead, theyallaredead, theyallaredead.
Theyallaredead, theyallaredead, theyallaredead, theyallaredead.
Near the Horta, the mighty Horta,
The Redshirts died tonight.
Hear their screaming, they won't be beaming.
The Redshirts died tonight.
CHORUS
In the sickbay, the quiet sickbay,
The Redshirts died tonight.
See them raving, McCoy can't save 'em.
The Redshirts died tonight.
CHORUS
Near the engine, the mighty engine,
The Redshirts died tonight.
It's overheating, the crew's retreating,
The Redshirts died tonight.
CHORUS
By the Vulcan, the stoic Vulcan,
The Redshirts died tonight.
Disintegrating is "Fascinating,"
The Redshirts died tonight.
CHORUS
Hush my darling, don't cry my darling,
The Redshirts died tonight.
They're only extras, they're not important.
The Redshirts died tonight.
CHORUS
The Redshirts died tonight.
Rocks exploded, shuttles imploded,
The Redshirts died tonight.
CHORUS
Theyallaredead, theyallaredead, theyallaredead, theyallaredead.
Theyallaredead, theyallaredead, theyallaredead, theyallaredead.
Near the Horta, the mighty Horta,
The Redshirts died tonight.
Hear their screaming, they won't be beaming.
The Redshirts died tonight.
CHORUS
In the sickbay, the quiet sickbay,
The Redshirts died tonight.
See them raving, McCoy can't save 'em.
The Redshirts died tonight.
CHORUS
Near the engine, the mighty engine,
The Redshirts died tonight.
It's overheating, the crew's retreating,
The Redshirts died tonight.
CHORUS
By the Vulcan, the stoic Vulcan,
The Redshirts died tonight.

Hush my darling, don't cry my darling,
The Redshirts died tonight.
They're only extras, they're not important.
The Redshirts died tonight.

This song has an inordinate number of choruses (you should have done the "we-e-e aiyee! we're toast to-day!") Still, the five you
did were "intriguing, Captain"
