Travis's Exbar Song

by Chris Blenkarn

After "I am a Pirate King" from The Pirates of Penzance, by Gilbert and Sullivan

Solo and chorus: Travis and crimos
Travis:: A Space Commander I once was
But I lost my command, and it's all because
That traitor Blake outmanouvred me
Tho' he helped my escape, ironically
Now with patched-up face and piercing eye
I stalk around and the world defy
I will not rest 'til with death he's paid
No matter if now I'm a renegade.
For I am a renegade!
Chorus:: You are!
You are a renegade!
You will not rest 'til with death he's paid
Hurrah for a renegade.
Travis:: As a milit'ry man I was pretty hot
A court martial was all the thanks I got
But yet I'll capture that damned outlaw
Loyalty's such a reliable flaw
This time I've a really cunning plan
He'll rush to save the girl and old man
With crimos assisting the masquerade
I'll be one satisfied renegade.
For I am a renegade!
Chorus:: You are!
You are a renegade
With crimos assisting the masquerade
Hurrah for a renegade.
Travis:: So here I wait in this draughty tower
Tonight Blake's ship will be in my power
I've cleaned and polished my hand again
And I'll net my prey in this harsh terrain
This time there'll be no ill-timed mistake
With nowhere to run, it's a piece of cake
So I raise my glass of vitazade
And toast success to this renegade.
For I am a renegade!
Chorus:: You are!
You are a renegade
Travis:: This time my clutches he'll not evade
Hurrah for a renegade.
