Scene One, The shuttle hangar onboard Moya, next to the Farscape One (Crichton, Aeryn, D’Argo and Chianna)
OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
CRICHTON:
There's a bright golden shine to the deckplates
There's a bright golden shine on the deckplates
I ain’t been a beaten’ yet, Ain’t had to cry
And there ain’t no Nebaris a-yankin’ my eyes!
Oh, what a beautiful mornin',
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I got a beautiful feelin'
Everything’s goin’ my way
Oh the crew is well-fed and well-rested
Oh the crew is well-fed and well-rested
They don't turn their heads as they see me bounce by,
’Cause I’m happy and healthy and ain’t gonna die!
Oh, what a beautiful mornin',
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I got a bashin’-free feelin'
Ev'rything's goin' my way.
(Aeryn enters the hangar)
CRICHTON: Hey there, sunshine!
AERYN: What are you doing now, Crichton?
CRICHTON: Well, I’ve come a singin’ to ya!
CRICHTON: All the sounds of
the ship are like music
All the sounds of the ship are like music
My room’s getting’ cleaned by a gold DRD,
And no critters or madmen are torturin’ me!
Oh, what a beautiful mornin',
Oh, what a beautiful day.
My fingers have all their feelin’
Ev'rything's goin' my way.
Oh, what a beautiful day!
CRICHTON: We gotta date, remember? I thought you were gonna teach me some new tricks today in the Farscape One.
AERYN (rolls her eyes): That scuffed up bucket of dren can barely hold together, I don’t know why you bother keeping it.
CRICHTON: Hey man, that’s my ride! C’mon, you and I will have a little fun. You can show me a few tricks. Help this good ole boy learn a thing ‘er two.
THE SURREY WITH THE FRINGE ON TOP
CRICHTON:
When I take you out, out there, with me,
Honey, here's the way it's gonna be:
You will sit behind my big broad Southern shoulders,
In the slickest gig you’ve ever seen!
All our cares and fears gonna scuttle
When I take you out in my shuttle,
When I take you out in the shuttle with the shine on top!
(Aeryn and Crichton get into the shuttle)
AERYN:
You can sit in back there commander
Or you’ll likely crash when we land her.
Air will likely leak out the fans here and the seals will pop!
CRICHTON:
The paint job is IASA and the hull’s high tech,
The dashboard's genuine leather,
There’s no pod that’s ever come close to her specs,
She’ll give a good run if you let her
Runnin’ lights are winkin' and blinkin',
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'
You can keep your rig if you're thinkin' that I'd care to swap
AERYN: Ha!
Fer that pretty little shuttle with the shine on the top!
AERYN: Did you say that this is your worlds’ best?
CRICHTON: Wouldn't give me nothin’ but the best
AERYN: This thing handles like a ball of old wet napkins
CRICHTON: It’s no warship, it was made for tests!
Worlds and stars fly by a flurry
You don’t have to waste time with worry
Why’s my vision getting all blurry? Aeryn, what’s that scent?
You smell great I
can’t think of fly-in’
I just want to keep you as mi-ne
Is this some new spell you are tryin’, what is your intent?
AERYN:
Just pay attention that is just my shampoo
CRICHTON: And I’m a cow in the
clover!
I’ll tell you something Aeryn that you’re thinking too
I’ll whisper it over
and over:
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and you’d never stop
In this pretty little shuttle with the shine on the top!
(They kiss)
AERYN: No! I won’t be a slave to your hormones!
(Chianna comes in as Aeryn storms out)
CHIANNA: Hey there Crichton, what’s goin’ on?
CRICHTON: Hey Chianna.
CHIANNA: You want some advice?
CRICHTON: No!
CHIANNA: She won’t have you, you’re in a muddle
Drooling for her just makes a puddle
How much more can you take rebuttal, when ya gonna stop?
CRICHTON:I could feel
her heart beatin’ faster
Though her feelin’s
she wants to master
Wantin’, touchin’, I can outlast her, ‘til she falls kerplop!
I wish I could take her to the world of my birth
New weapons and
choc’late I’d buy her
I know she would love me as she’d love my dear Earth
I’d marry and never deny her
(Crichton looks disgusted with himself
Aeryn walks back on stage and watches him and Chianna)
CHIANNA: Hush, John hush, your dreams are for sleepin'!
CRICHTON: Maybe it’s a dream worth a-keepin'
Maybe I should go back to creepin’ round her fragile heart
With my pretty little
shuttle with the shine on the top
AERYN: Forget it John, I need some space! (She storms off again)
CRICHTON (calls after her): Fine, take the whole universe!
(D’Argo’s voice comes over John’s communicator)
D’ARGO: Crichton, we are all flying down to the Royal Planet for supplies. We will meet you in the shuttle bay.
CRICHTON: See you in a few.

Scene 2: A Royal Planet Nightclub (all Cast except Scorpius)
KANSAS CITY
RYGEL:
This morning we docked at the Royal Planet
By afternoon I learned a thing or two
If I’d remembered I would have just planned it
To see what modern folks were gonna do!
I’ve seen every luxury beyond imag’ning
Almost ev'ry time I took a walk.
Then I walked up to the Empress on her royal throne, and then we began to have a
Royal talk!
AERYN: What next?!
ALL: Yeah what?
CRICHTON: What next? (He holds
up a “ kissing vial”)
CRICHTON: Ev'rything’s up to date
in Royal City
They've gone about as far as they can go!
They’ve got a baby screening system that you just can’t beat
When your social life begins to slow
Kissing all the girls in Royal City
And I never heard a one say no!
When DNA’s compatible the kiss will taste real sweet
If not you kiss the next girl and stay light upon your feet
I’ve 6 million more girls that I would really like to meet!
AERYN: He’s gone about as far as he can go!
ALL: Yes sir! He’s gone about as far as he can go!
TYNO announces: The Royal Princess, Katralla!
(She walks up to
Crichton holding a kissing vial)
KATRALLA: Ev'rything's up to date in Royal City
We’ve gone about as far as we can go
I’ve kissed all male citizens, the kisses were all sour
Don’t you think you would like to have a go?
You look fertile and you are so pretty
As firm above as you are down below (they kiss)
AERYN: I ‘ll bet that she is padded from her shoulder to her feet
CHIANNA: It doesn’t matter, Aeryn, look! The kiss did turn out sweet!
ALL: And now
Katralla’s got a Consort and a Royal Seat
They’ve gone about as far as they
could go, Yes sir!
They’ve gone about as far as they could go!
(Crichton and Katralla go offstage together, followed by Tyno, Clavor, the Empress, Rygel and the Scarren)
CHIANNA: Aeryn, you should go after him
AERYN: I don’t need advice from you!
D’ARGO: Girls, girls, can’t we all just get along?
CHIANNA: If you don’t want him why don’t you go with that fellow over there? (She points behind her) He seems to like you.
AERYN: Chianna, not everybody is a tralk like you. Enjoy her, D’Argo, everyone else does. (Aeryn leaves)
D’ARGO: Chianna. I have enjoyed our time together. (He holds up a kissing vial. They kiss and then do a spit take)
CHIANNA: Oh, D’Argo, don’t worry!
D’ARGO: It is alright. Despite what she said, I do still respect you. But Aeryn is right, you deserve better than the way you treat yourself.
I CAIN’T SAY NO!
D’ARGO: It ain't so much a question of not knowing what to do?
CHIANNA: I’ve known what's
right and wrong since way back when.
D’ARGO: I’ve heard a lot of stories and I guess that they are true…
CHIANNA: About how I’ve been puttin’ out for men?
(Chianna rolls her eyes and steps forward and sings to the audience)
CHIANNA: A straighter guy I don’t think I have met
But in his arms I
guess I just forget!
I'm just a girl who can't say no,
Been in some terrible spots!
I always say "come on, let's go"
Just when I oughta say “yotz”!
Well you know I was thrown off my world
The bosses there gave me a deadly ill
And although I find
most shoulders cold
I cannot get my
boilin’ blood to chill!
(She looks back to D’Argo)
I’ve been seducing
friend and foe
I’ll never be a Pau saint
How can I be what I
ain’t?
YOU didn’t make a complaint!
I can't say no!
D’ARGO: What you
gonna to do when this Luxan gets lonely and talks matrimony?
What you gonna to do?
S'posin' that I say that I don’t want another, my kid’ll need a mother?
What you gonna to do?
Sposin’ that I want you all alone to myself,
All your moans and your groans and cries
What you gonna do when I talk that way,
Spit in my eye?
CHIANNA: I'm just a girl who can't say no,
Seein’ a guy
that’s this swell
Exercising my li-bi-do
Come on, let’s go
have a frell
Well the test shows we can’t reproduce
But we don’t live by scientific rules
So let’s just live life carefree and loose
And do for me and I will DO for you!!
I can’t resist you Ka D’Argo
With your tattoos and your braid
I just wanna go get laid
And I won’t EVEN get
paid!
I can't say no!
(They move to the back of the stage and are joined by Rygel. Aeryn walks back on to stage front and faces the audience).
AERYN: I can’t believe John would go off with that princess. He’s only doing it to make me jealous, I am sure. Maybe he isn’t… But, why should I be jealous of him. Hah! I am a warrior. I am my own woman.
(Chianna, D’Argo and Rygel move forward to join her)
MANY A NEW DAY
AERYN:
Why should a PK who is healthy and strong,
Blubber like a baby if a man goes astray?
A-weepin' and a-wailin' that he done her wrong,
That's one thing a PK’d never say!
Never gonna open my heart to him, no normal PK would dare
I'll punch my training
bag to show I don’t care
I'll buy me some new black clothes to wear;
I’ll fly my prowler out of there
And start all over again.
Many a new face will please my eye
Many a new love will find me
Peacekeeper training
won’t let me sigh over the romance behind me
Many a new day will
dawn before I do
So what if Crichton has kissed and flown?
A kiss like his,
I’ve grown past
Rule number one in the
PK tome:
“Love ‘em and
leave ‘em fast!”
Maybe I’ll make this
world my new home
Stay with these
Sebacean outcasts? (She shakes her head)
Many a new day will dawn before I do!
CHORUS (Chianna, D’Argo and Rygel):
Many a new face will
please her eye
Many a new love will find her
Peacekeeper training
won’t let her sigh over the romance behind her
AERYN: Many a new day
will dawn before I do!
Never had I ever felt so free
As John freely
extolled me
Maybe his outrageous
flattery
Started to control me
Never will you hear me
beg and plea
For such a man to come
roll me
CHORUS: Many a new day will dawn!
AERYN: Many a red sun
will set!
Many a blue moon will shine before I do!
(All leave stage)
-----------------------------------
Scene 3: The Royal Palace
(KATRALLA, TYNO and CRICHTON come on stage)
TYNO: Katralla, you must take this Crichton as husband. It is the only way to keep your crazy brother Clavor and his Scarren lackeys from taking over. You must have an heir, and he is the only man on the planet who is compatible with you.
KATRALLA (sadly): The kiss was sweet. But Tyno, I love you
TYNO: My beloved, we must think of your subjects. You must marry him.
KATRALLA: But everyone knows that it is you I love.
CRICHTON: Hey, over here. How about asking the human? You know, I gotta life, as crappy as it is, already…
PEOPLE WILL SAY WE’RE IN LOVE
TYNO: Crichton you must become Katie’s husband on your own
Without a baby, her brother will take o’er her throne
You are the only man on the planet who will do
Here is a list of facts to assist you think things through
If Clavor rules as king CRICHTON (To Katralla): That’s your brother right?
He will ruin everything CRICHTON: He did seem crazy…
Chaos is all he will bring CRICHTON: Like in world war?
KATRALLA (to Crichton): People must say we’re in love!
TYNO: Don't try to run away
CRICHTON: What’s gonna stop me?
Scorpius docked here today CRICHTON: Scorpy’s here?
Your mind he will grind away CRICHTON: You got that right
People must say you're in love!
TYNO: I’ll start collecting vials (He
comes towards Crichton with a syringe)
CRICHTON:
Whoa!
Start with a sample of blood CRICHTON: Well, NOW this is a WACKer ep
Crichton, you’ve a humane style CRICHTON: That’s hu-MAN
People must say you're in love.
KATRALLA: He didn’t mention one small condition of contract
This is an irreversible eighty cycle pact
CRICHTON: What?!?!
There is an eighty-cycles-as-statues wedding clause
You need that long to learn all our customs, rules and laws
CRICHTON: Oh, that’s real enticing…
You’ll be, so statuesque
CRICHTON: As in… a statue
You’ll stand right by my side CRICHTON: For 80 years????
Your child will be my pride
CRICHTON: I don’t believe this
People must say we're in love!
As king, your life we’ll save
CRICHTON: Scorpy gets booted?
PK’s will all be banned CRICHTON: Well, except
Aeryn…
Come John, come and take my hand CRICHTON:
But, Aeryn…
People must say we’re in love
CRICHTON: Don't twist my arm too much
Don’t use this Scorpy scare
Don’t blackmail me, don’t you dare!!!!
KATRALLA: Crichton, you’re our only hope
CRICHTON:
Awww man….
CRICHTON, KATRALLA & TYNO: People must say you’re/we're in love!
(TYNO and KATRALLA leave)
SCORPIUS (comes on stage): John, I heard what they told you.
CRICHTON: Go away, Scorpy
SCORPIUS: You don’t really want to go through with this do you? Come with me, I will remove the hidden information that I need from your mind, and then I’ll let you go...no really, I mean it this time. No torture at all. Honestly! Think about it John: 80 cycles as a statue. (laughs) What kind of statue would it be anyway, John? Wood? Clay? Lead?
PORE JUD IS DAID
SCORPIUS: Poor John’s all lead, poor John Crichton’s lead
All gather round his statue now to cry
You think he has a chill,
‘Cause he’s standin’ there so still,
His friends will have to come and say goodbye
Poor John’s all stone, no blood flows through his bones
So far from life but oh so very near
CRICHTON: Oh so near (he shakes his fist at Scorpius)
SCORPIUS: He cannot draw a breath
There’s no air inside his chest
His thought patterns have never been so clear
SCORPY: And what is going to happen, John? You will stand there, unmoving, for 80 cycles. All your family will be dead, your friends will have moved on. Could you really bear to be a statue for that long?
CRICHTON: Yeah? And the choice is I stay here and become a statue, or I
go off with you and have my brain vacuumed. Hah!
SCORPY: ’Cause I think I really know you, and I know beneath that black dirty
tee shirt you always wear
There beats a heart as big as outer space
JOHN: You’re such a waste of space.
SCORPY (leans in): So full of sentiment
JOHN (fans the air): Go get yourself a mint
SCORPY: You love your freedom, your flying.
You love Aeryn Sun, Hmmm?
You love the pests and vermin and you treat the Luxans like equals -
which is right. And you love the little children…no, no, no, and you love everybody and
everything and your home world . . . only you’ll never make it home, so your
family will never know it
SCORPY: Poor John’s a rock, poor John’s a marble block
His friends will wail and weep a thousand tears
No company he’ll keep
As a paperweight he’s cheap
The locals will hang laundry from his ears
CRICHTON: Poor John’s all gold his skin is hard and cold
His handsome face will never fail to please
SCORPIUS: Please!
SCORPIUS: His coat shines just like chrome
Birds and mice have a new home
Thank goodness that he’s not made out of cheese
CRICHTON:
Jeez!
BOTH: Poor John’s all lead a bird sits on his head
SCORPIUS: His feet are
gathering a layer of dust
Just sadness he will feel
Cause he’s not a man of steel
But then he’d have to worry about rust
BOTH: Poor . . . John
Poor . . . John
CAST comes back on stage.
KATRALLA: Scorpius! What are you doing? Stay away from him!
AERYN: What is that Scarren doing here!
SCARREN: What is that peacekeeper doing here?
Aeryn and the Scarren start scuffling. Tyno steps between them.
THE FARMER AND THE COWMAN
TYNO: The Scarrens and the PKs should be friends,
Oh, the Scarrens and the PKs should be friends.
PKs like a chilly treat, the Scarrens like to bathe in heat
But that's no reason why they can't be friends.
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
PKs dance with the Scarren warriors
Scarrens dance with the PK gals.
CHORUS: Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
PKs dance with the Scarren warriors
Scarrens dance with the PK gals.
AERYN: I'd like to say a word for the PKs,
They’ve conquered lots of races and enslaved them
So what if they don’t like hot humid weather
You gotta say they look real cool in leather!
KATRALLA: Scorpius, if you take Crichton then my brother and this awful Scarren monster will take control of my planet
SCARREN: Monster?
SCARREN: The Scarren is a strong and loyal friend
No matter what the PKs say or do
The rules I’ll never bend
You will find no better friend
AERYN: If you like being tortured he’s for you!!!
CRICHTON: The Scarrens and the PKs should be friends,
Oh, the Scarrens and the PKs should be friends.
Scarrens never brush their teeth, PKs crush you underneath,
But that's no reason why they can't be friends
(CRICHTON and AERYN glare at each other)
CHORUS: Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
PKs dance with the Scarren warriors
Scarrens dance with the PK gals.
TYNO: I’d like to say a word for Sebaceans
We’ve built a civilization here from scratch
We don’t like foreign folks
But with off-worlders there’s hope
‘Cause now Katralla’s found a perfect match
RYGEL: You PKs should be sociable with the Scarrens
If they fly by and take over your planet
Complain about the heat and their big white stinky feet
CRICHTON: But if you are not armed you’d better can it!
KATRALLA: Why do we need a Scarren here anyway?
AERYN: Scorpius had one as a dad and look how he turned out!
SCARREN: You can’t talk that way about Scarrens!
TYNO: Shut up!
CRICHTON: She can say what she wants to say!
CLAVOR: Katralla, you really aren’t going to marry this idiot!?
(Everyone begins Arguing/Brawling)
(TYNO holds up his blaster and shoots in the air and everyone stops.)
TYNO: Ain’t no body gonna slug out anything. This here is a wedding. Sing it Clavor, Dum did dee dum dah dum………..
CLAVOR: The Scarrens and the PKs should be friends,
CHORUS: Oh, the Scarrens and the PKs should be friends.
Both types like to dress in black, over you their whips will crack
But that's no reason why they can't be friends
KATRALLA: And when this marriage has been made official
And wife and husband turn to royal statues
The PKs and Sebaceans and the Scarrens
Must all behave themselves and live in virtue
SCARREN: I'd like to teach you all a little sayin'
And learn the words by heart the way you should
The PKs like to say that they’re better than the rest
But Scarrens hand out evil just as good
CHORUS: The PKs say they’re better than everybody else
But Scarrens hand out evil just as good
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
PKs dance with the Scarren warriors
Scarrens dance with the PK gals.
There ensues a Royal Square Dance wherein Scorpius do-see-dos with other players <--[Poetic license!! <g>]
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
PKs dance with the Scarren warriors
Scarrens dance with the PK gals.
KATRALLA: It is time for the wedding. Crichton, what do you say?
CRICHTON (looks at AERYN): Aeryn?
(Aeryn turns her back on him. He looks at Scorpius and then turns to Katralla. He nods. Aeryn runs out.)
CRICHTON (turns to D’ARGO and CHIANA): Wake me up! This has got to be a bad dream. Where is Aeryn? I need her here!
OUT OF MY DREAMS
CHIANNA: Out of your dreams and into her arms you long to fly
D’ARGO: You have to forget her it is time to say good-bye
KATRALLA: Off of this world and out into space I’m sending Scorpy
CHIANA: Now at least you’re free, and safe from him you’ll be:
D’ARGO: And if you get sad you’ll think… of me and Chi…frelling!
(They laugh together)
CHORUS: Make up your mind, make up your mind, Crichton, Crichton, dear.
Don’t have to fear, don’t have to be frightened, Crichton dear
We are your friends we won’t be judgemental what you do
We’ll be here, regardless we will stick here with you
KATRALLA and CRICHTON turn into statues. The rest of the company leaves as AERYN comes on stage
AERYN: Out of my dreams and into his arms I long to fly.
I thought he would try to flee this matrimonial tie
Out of this town and into the vast and barren desert
Where the sky is clear and other suitors woo
Now out of this dream I’ll go
Out of this dream, from you
Aeryn leaves stage, The spotlight shines on Crichton, standing still.
Clavor comes in holding a blaster. He
addresses Crichton.
ALL ER NOTHIN
CLAVOR: You could have been a bit more diplomatic
And run off with that frelling Aeryn Sun
Instead you were behaving quite hezmat-ic
And sent all of my evil plans to ruin
Both Scorpy and the Scarren were deported
But with my plan to kill you I will go
Your death alas will have to be reported
But I’ll reanimate you for the blow
(Clavor pushes a button and Crichton comes to life)
CRICHTON: Whoa! (They struggle with the blaster as Crichton sings)
CRICHTON: I only did the kind-a things I could do, should do!
Some brother-in-law you’ve turned out to be, for me!
I don’t see why you have to go attack me, whack me!
You won’t remove me quite so easily
TYNO: (whacks Clavor with a trout and picks up the gun): The whole thing don’t sound very good to me.
CLAVOR: Ack! (He dies)
TYNO (chanting): To get her pregnant with your cells we sold the royal
jewelry
And now the sacrifice Kat made is ruined by his tomfoolery
CRICHTON (chanting): I gave up lotsa other things, my future not to
mention
Before I give up anymore I want to know your INTENTIONS!!!!
CRICHTON: With you it's all er nuthin'.
It is all or nothin’ with you
You’ve stolen my whole life
And stuck me with this wife
And now you say the gig is ruined?
Thought this covenant was permanent
Turned me into a monument
Change me back to stone or leave me be!!!
If you can't give me all, give me nuthin'
And nothin's what you'll get from me!
TYNO: Not for your daughter?
CRICHTON: Nothin's what you'll get from me!
CRICHTON (falters): What do you mean, my daughter?
TYNO: Katralla is already pregnant with the DNA we got from your blood
CRICHTON: You people have some nerve!!
TYNO: I can’t change you back to a statue. It is a one-shot deal. To change you again would be fatal
CRICHTON: And my kid won’t be born for 80 years…
CRICHTON: Why don’t you take my place?
As husband you’ll replace
Nobody would know it was you.
TYNO: I…couldn’t, could I?
CRICHTON: You could be the big boss, be with your girl
You and she would rule this whole world
For my kid a good dad you would be
TYNO: But how could I be your daughter’s father?
She will not look a bit like me!
CRICHTON: The spittin’ image!
TYNO: She will not look a bit like me!
TYNO: I will do it. I will love your child like my own. I won’t let you down.
CRICHTON: You better not. Now go immortalize yourself
(TYNO stands next to KATRALLA and becomes a statue)
(Crichton sits down and buries his head in his hands. Aeryn comes in and touches his shoulder)
CRICHTON: Aeryn! Where were you? I needed you and you let me down!
CRICHTON: With you it's all or nuthin'.
All for you and nuthin' for me!
But if a man is wise, he's gotta realize
That girls like you are wild and free.
AERYN: You don’t gotta fuss, don't gotta frown,
I was wrong and now I have found
You have worked your way into my heart
So go right off and leave if you want to
But let’s try kissing ‘ere we part! (She holds up a kissing vial)
CRICHTON: Now that’s my Aeryn! (He leaps up)
AERYN: Let’s try kissing ‘ere we part!
CRICHTON: Come on and kiss me!
(They kiss.)
CRICHTON: Aeryn! It tastes sweet! It’s sweet!
AERYN: Yes, John, it is.
PEOPLE WILL SAY WE’RE IN LOVE (Reprise)
AERYN & CRICHTON: Let people say we’re in love
Who cares what happens now
Just fly away with me
Just promise you’ll stay with me
Let people say we’re in love!
Starlight looks well on us
Let the stars beam from above
Who cares if they tell on us
Let people say we're in love.
(Rygel, D’Argo and Chianna come back on stage).
RYGEL: So ends my brief reign as Hynerian Ambassador to this planet
CHIANNA: Yeah, and look how happy it turned out
OKLAHOMA
CHIANNA: They couldn’t pick a better time to fall in love
D’ARGO: It ain’t too early and it ain’t too late
RYGEL: Now its time to fly to our dear ship above
Soon be flyin’ into outer space!
ALL: Outer space! To our ship let’s race!
AERYN: Getting back to Pilot, getting back to Moya
Flyin’ from this
planet, from PK destroyers
RYGEL: A ship that is living that takes good care
CHIANNA: Plenty of room and plenty of air
D’ARGO: Plenty of crew with which to cope
CRICHTON: Plenty of heart and plenty of hope!
CRICHTON: On-to Moya
with a fire bursting from her tail
When we face the
worst, she will starburst
Leavin’ just a
spark-l-y blue trail!
ALL: On-to Moya
AERYN: With an alien Pilot who directs
With a practiced ease
The DRD’s
Making lazy circles
on her decks!
CRICHTON: We know we
belong to our ship!
And the ship we
belong to is hip!
So when I say
Yeow! Ayipioeeay!
ALL: What are you saying?
CRICHTON: You’re doing fine, oh my Moya! On-to Moya! OK!
ALL: On-to Moya with a starburst leapin in her veins
She’s our home, our friend, until the end
Of our long and wearisome campaigns!
On-to Moya
With a loving Pilot at the wheel
As she flies from fate
She’ll radiate
Sexy biomechanoid appeal!
We know we belong to our ship!
And the ship we
belong to is hip!
CRICHTON: Yippie Yi! Yippie Yi!
CRICHTON, D’ARGO and CHIANNA!: Yippie Yi! Yippie Yi!
ALL: Yippie Yi! Yippie Yi! Yippie! Yi!
ALL: So when we say
Yeow! Ayipioeeay!
We’re only saying
You’re doing fine,
oh my Moya! On-to Moya! OK!
CHORUS: On-to Mo-ya, On-to Mo-ya, On-to Mo-ya, On-to Mo-ya, On-to Mo-ya, On-to Mo-ya
ALL: We know we
belong to our ship!
And the ship we
belong to is hip!
So when we say
We’re only saying
You’re doing fine
Oh My Moya! On-to Moya! O.K.M.Y.M.O.Y.A. Onto Moya! Yeioww!!!
THE END!
