He’s Dead Jim

Please don't beam me down with Kirk, McCoy and Spock
Cause if you do, I know that you'll be dead by one 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
Every time 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
