He's Dead Jim (The Functional Idiots cover) Lyrics


Please don't beam me down with Kirk, McCoy and Spock

cause if you do, I know that I'll be dead by 1 o'clock

Maybe I'll be vaporized or crushed beneath some granite

Bones will look at Jim and say I'm just a doctor Dammit!

I'm an extra - on Star Trek

It's my break - on TV

the fourth man in the landing crew

It's the last you'll see of me

They didn't ask me if I wanted to go

and if they did - I would have told them NO

Just because my shirt is red this doesn't have to be

Everytime they beam down four they only beam back three

I'm an extra - on Star Trek

It's my break - on TV

the fourth man in the landing crew

It's the last you'll see of me

So when they need men to beam down, don't be a volunteer

Just stay up at the helm and help Sulu steer

The Enterprise is much more fun when Scotty runs the crew

So you beam down - I'll stay aboard and have some tribal stew

I'm an extra - on Star Trek

It's my break - on TV

the fourth man in the landing crew

It's the last you'll see of me!
