Lyrics: Gary Ehrlich, copyright (c) 4/93, 8/93
Am E Am C E Am
Gene Roddenberry's ghost is haunting Space Station Nine
F C Dm F C Dm
Came out through the wormhole from the Gamma Quadrant side
E F E F
And if you think we've had too much of Bajorr's local ale
Am E Am
Just tell me why all the Cardassians are turning pale!
Am E Am C E Am
"Don't go to the docking ring" the constable exclaimed
F C Dm F C Dm
You just might see Gene shifting shape and calling Majel's name
E F E F
Our green physician's chasing him through turbolifts and curves
Am E Am
Which pleases our Trill scientist; they aren't chasing her!
Am C Am C E Am
The Promenade's shopkeepers wish that he would go away
F C Dm F C Dm
The Ferengi most of all don't stand to profit from his stay
E F E F
He's cheating when he gambles and he's bankrupting the bar
Am E Am
They wish he'd gone to Argo Port in search of R & R
Am C Am C E Am
We don't know why he's haunting us, we wish we had a clue
F C Dm F C Am
Though some think he's just stopping by to check on a new crew
C F E F
Are the ranks still staying loyal and does Starfleet still appeal?
Am E Am
And is peace in the galaxy our paramount ideal?
Am E Am C E Am
Gene Roddenberry's ghost is haunting Space Station Nine
F C Dm F C Dm
All the crew is wondering when he'll finally bid goodbye
E F E F
He's wearing out his welcome, we wish he'd leave us quick
Am E Am
We rather would be haunted by that Carmen Miranda chick!
