[to tune of first line]
DaH jIbomtaH 'e' vImev.
I obey one emperor.
He is the emperor of the great Klingon Empire itself.
I have two armpits,
One on the left and the other on the right.
I respect three things:
Honor, strength, and true words.
My targ has four limbs.
On each one there are sharp claws.
I will travel in the five directions:
East, southwesterly, northwesterly, up, and down.*
Now I will stop singing.
* The Klingon compass has three cardinal directions.
