lyrics

My father is the captain of the starship Unity,
And me and mama live on board to bear him company.
And I am of the age when I am anxious for to wed;
And I must choose a groom who'll win approval from my Dad.

Well, Johnny is fine, and Johnny is fair, and wishes me to wed.
And I would marry Johnny but my father up and said,
"I hate to tell you, daughter, what your mother never knew:
That tentacled mess is a son of mine, and so is kin to you."

Well, Jimmy is fine, with shining scales, and sweet as he can be.
And I would marry Jimmy, but my father said to me,
"I hate to tell you, daughter, what your mother never knew:
That hatchling too is an egg of mine, and so is kin to you."

Well, Zarin is fine and nine feet tall, and covered with purple hair.
And I would marry Zarin, but my father said, "Beware!
I hate to say it, my darlin' girl, but it's the same old tale,
And remembering what his mom was like, we're not sure he's a male."

Now, Brian is made of light and air, and rather hard to see.
At least he doesn't look as if he's any kin to me.
I said as much to Father, and he said, "Girl, mind your lip!
And never underestimate the captain of a ship."

Was ever there a maiden in so sad a fix as this?
If all my father says is true, I'll die a single miss.
For every single man on board is my own brother true--
I'll go and find my mother and I'll ask her what to do.

"Well, tidy your antennae, girl, and comb your hair so blue.
I've taught you that a skipper is a father to his crew.
He's doubtless laid each female in the galaxy, but still
He's not the critter that sired you, so marry whom you will!"
