Sung to: “So Long, It’s Been Good to Know Ya” by The Weavers
A ST:NG Parody by M. James
CHORUS: SO LONG, IT’S BEEN GOOD TO KNOW YA
SO LONG, IT’S BEEN GOOD TO KNOW YA
SO LONG, IT’S BEEN GOOD TO KNOW YA
IT’S BEEN SEVEN YEARS THAT YOU’VE BEEN ON
BUT WE’VE GOT TO BE VOYAGIN’ ON
LETS SING US A SONG OF A SHOW CALLED NEXT GEN
OF THE PEOPLE WE’VE MET AND THE PLACES THEY’VE BEEN
ALL OF THE WONDROUS ADVENTURES THEY’D FIND
AND A LOT OF GOOD MEMORIES THEY’LL LEAVE BEHIND – SAYIN’
CHORUS
THE FIRST SEASON SHOWED A SECURITY CHIEF
HER TENURE ON BOARD TURNED OUT TO BE BRIEF
FOR JUST WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE SHE WOULD BE A STAR
ALONG CAME SOME BLACK GOO AND WE SAID TO YAR – TASHA
CHORUS
THE EARLY YEARS GAVE US A PROMISING LAD
HE WAS SUCH A GENIUS, BUT IT WAS TOO BAD
THAT EVERYONE ALWAYS WAS SAVED BY WESLEY
SO HE GOT SHIPPED OFF TO THE ACADEMY – WE SAID
CHORUS
NOW RIKER AND TROI WERE A PAIR THAT WERE HOT
THE FANS HOPED THAT ONE DAY THEY WOULD TIE THE KNOT
WILL WOULDN’T COMMIT AND TROI SHOWED HIM THE DOOR
AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW SHE’S AN ITEM WITH WORF – THEY SAID
CHORUS
WE’VE MET GUINAN, Q, AND MACHINES CALLED THE BORG
EVERYONE’S FAMILY, LWAXANA AND LORE
SHERLOCK HOLMES, DIXON HILL, MORIARTY
A STRANGER VARIETY WE’LL NEVER SEE
CHORUS
WELL, THE SHOW WAS A HIT, THE SHOW WAS A HOOT
THE RATINGS WERE SOARING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE ROOF
A MILLION FANS ASKED THE PRODUCERS, “WHY STOP?”
BUT THEY WAVED MOVIE CONTRACTS SAID, “WE MADE A SWAP” – AND IT’S
CHORUS
