[ WP ] Arrr ... Space pirates ! ! Write me a space-age shanty !

( Excerpt from from *The Reactor She's a Leakin': A Collection of Space Shanties from the High Warp Era* ) 
 
 `` Down Through the Warp We Go'' was penned shortly after the widespread implementation of the warp drive. The song has been an enduring favorite through the first and second Centauri War and remains popular today. The song was penned by Captain Gavriel Wolfe during a pioneer voyage to Gamma Capricorni. 
 
 [ Down Through the Warp We Go ] 
 
 ( To the tune of Randy Dandy-O ) 
 
 Now we are ready to sail for Capricorn, 
 
 Weigh hey, roll and go! 
 
 Our futures and fortunes are all in the starts, 
 
 Down through the warp we go! 
 
 ( Chorus ) 
 
 Man your station and heave away, 
 
 Weigh hey roll and go, 
 
 The cargo's all stored and the warp drive is charged, 
 
 Down through the warp we go! 
 
 / 
 
 Come man a console and chart us a course, 
 
 Weigh hey, roll and go! 
 
 Lest the dark take us without remorse, 
 
 Down through the warp we go! 
 
 ( Chorus ) 
 
 Soon we'll be warping her out to the docks 
 
 Weigh hey, roll and go! 
 
 Where the pretty young girls all board through the air locks 
 
 Down through the warp we go! 
 
 ( Chorus ) 
 
 Come see the sights as we sail Old Mars, 
 
 Weigh hey, roll and go! 
 
 Our next destination is out in the stars 
 
 Down through the warp we go! 
 
 ( Chorus )
