Ode to Jean-Luc (song)

My roommate Ben and I wrote and performed this song back in the Spring of 2001 after watching every episode of Star Trek The Next Generation in chronological order. This song spans the first 4 seasons. Hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:
oh jean-luc picard
oh jean-luc picard

i remember farpoint
where it all began
saving those jellyfish
oh capitan!

riker didn't have a beard
jordie wasn't cheif engineer
tasha was still alive
you were commanding the enterprise

captain picard
the enterprise

then there's the traveler
stranded your ship and crew
a billion light years from home
oh what to do?

the traver noticed wesley
wanted you to help him
when you returned home
you made him acting ensign

acting ensign
wesley crusher

with the lagaran
sarek was our only try
but he came down a syndrome
oh bendai!

sarek was out of control
the syndrome taking its toll
you proposed a mind meld
so the conference coudl be held

vulcan mind meld
lagaran

oh jean luc picard
traveling amongst the stars (engage!)
oh jean luc picard
you never play cards (make it so!)
oh jean luc picard
you have a klingon guard (mr worf!)
oh jean luc picard
your phasers shoot far (to my heart!)

stepping from the turbolift
you found yourself in a shuttle
and there was your friend Q
oh tricky devil!

he said you weren't prepared
for everything that is out there
introduced you to the borg
sent seventeen to the morgue

seventeen dead
here come the borg

then one year had passed
the borg came took you from us
they assimilated you
oh locutus!

but riker got you back
part of a sneak atatck
seeing they were basically sheep
you had data put them to sleep

planted command
sheep go ka-boom

after defeat of borg
you went home to labarre
hadn't seen your brother in years
oh robert!

you two made your peace
after some self release
came to terms with what happened
you will always be my captain

despite the borg
still my captain

oh jean luc picard
traveling amongst the stars (engage!)
oh jean luc picard
you never play cards (make it so!)
oh jean luc picard
you have a klingon guard (mr worf!)
oh jean luc picard
your phasers shoot far (to my heart!)
oh jean luc picard
traveling amongst the stars...

-- Deserves more views, accolades and kudos! C'mon ppl... it's Captain Picard, THE ENTERPRISE! xD

If I'm being honest, this is awful. But then, I can't stop watching and the song's catchy. I like it.

[brav0wing]

The only question that I thought was hard was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?
