Analysis of Starship Pimpin'



Here's to you, starship captains,
that your adventure in the galaxy never ends,
traveling through the deep depths of outer space,
the many perils that you boldly face
going where no man has gone before
an intergalactic player,
starship pimpin',
across the galaxy

When it comes to order on the starship,
the captain gets all the action,
among his crew members,
he has supreme command
every planet ventured to,
bringing order is job one
getting beautiful alien vixens, job two,
their curiosity of him insatiable,
exotic appeal, charm unmentionable,
call him captain Kirk,
their body is his spaceship,
in their lovin' he will engage
makes 'em go to rift factor seven

To infinity and beyond,
after intergalactic battle, the day is won,
defeated alien scum,
celebrates with his crewmates,
in his quarters, makes the first lady's bed rock,
second in command takes over,
wounded in battle,
the medic patches him up subtle,
then gets rewarded handsomely,
to her captain she'll serve dutifully,
the young rookies look in awe,
their captain's the best they ever saw,
first in command, supreme leader,
gets all the action,
alien or human, gets all the women
want to be like him
that starship captain
starship pimpin'
