Text
- My old man flies starships. "Whaddaya think of that?"
- His jacket has no collar, he doesn't wear a hat.
- He doesn't wear a raincoat, 'cause it doesn't rain in space.
- He leaves a broken hearted lover when he leaves a place.
- And someday if I can
- I'm gonna fly a starship, the same as my old man.
- My old man's a Vulcan. "Whaddaya think of that?"
- When he goes on most planets he has to wear a hat.
- He's never mad or angry and he plays a lot of chess.
- And women like to chase him though they don't have much success.
- And someday if I can,
- I'm gonna be a Vulcan, the same as my old man.
- My old man's a doctor. "Whaddaya think of that?"
- He gets to tell the captain when the captain's getting fat.
- He tells them he's a doctor when asked what they should
- And he speaks with Vulcans, he's a nasty word or two.
- And someday if I can,
- I'm gonna be a doctor, the same as my old man.
- My old man's Gene Roddenberry. "Whaddaya think of that?"
- He created Star Trek with the scripting and the matte.
- He wears a Great Bird t-shirt and mommy number one
- roducing science fiction is his way of having fun.
- And someday if I can--
- (spoken:) I'm gonna come up with a series concept, dog the networks for three years to get it on, have it cancelled, make a fortune in syndication, and laugh at the critics all the way to the bank....
- The same as my old man!
