I am the Leader of the Liberator

by Chris Blenkarn

After "I am the Captain of the Pinafore," from HMS Pinafore, by Gilbert and Sullivan

Blake: I am the leader of the Liberator
All: And a fearless leader too.
Blake: You have made it very clear
That you'd rather not be here
But I need an expert crew.
All: We've made it very clear
That we'd rather not be here
But he needs an expert crew.
Blake: I shall fight the Federation
With great determination
No setback gives me pause
I despise all propaganda
Hard luck, Supreme Commander
I never will renounce the Cause.
All: What, never?
Blake: No, never.
All: What, never?
Blake: Well, hardly ever.
All: He never will renounce the Cause
So give three cheers and one cheer more
For the dauntless leader of the Liberator. (rpt)
Blake: I am the leader of the Liberator
All: And we're his eager crew.
Blake: I intend to start offending
And on you I am depending
To help me out, its true.
All: He intends to start offending
And on us he is depending
Too help him out, too true.
Blake: So let's all get kitted up
To begin the next cockup
And common-sense eschew
We can teleport right now
Blow up something, anyhow
And we'll never need a prompt rescue.
All: What , never?
Blake: No never.
All: What, never?
Blake: Well, hardly ever.
All: We'll never need a prompt rescue?????
So give three cheers and one cheer more
For the optimistic leader of the Liberator. (rpt)
