Words by Elizabeth Hensley
(To the tune of, "West Texas Town of El Paso.")
One day while the Enterprise sailed
Cross the galaxy
Looking for worlds where thinking resides,
They came cross an Alien with eyes blue as Earth’s skies
And love in his hearts a whole galaxy wide!
Oh give me these wild velvet skies!
You can let planets go hang!
This is the way to be
So completely free.
Doctor and Enterprise know how to live!
Wild is the winds of Antares and Rigel!
Traveling the worlds in a box colored blue!
Long scarf and Tin Dog and coat full of candy!
He was the gentlest Being that They knew!
Oh give me these wild velvet skies!
You can let planets go hang!
This is the way to be
So completely free.
Doctor and Enterprise know how to live!
The Vulcan was intrigued to find such a time ship
Shaped like a police box all peeling and blue!
Bigger inside than it is on the outside.
Beyond any tech that the Federation knew!
The Time-Lord was happy to find
a big Star ship
Full of Beings as kind as himself
Shaped like a Peace Dove,
So shining and pretty:
A ship full of tall Imps and one stoic Elf!
Oh give me these wild velvet skies!
You can let planets go hang!
This is the way to be
So completely free.
Doctor and Enterprise know how to live!
