The Lyrics
Ten redshirted ensigns had no hope of being fine.
One went on away mission and then there were nine.
Nine redshirted ensigns knew that help would come to late.
One went on away mission and then there were eight.
Eight redshirted ensigns knew they gonna go to heaven.
One went on away mission and then there were seven.
Seven redshirted ensigns prayed that there would be a fix.
One went on away mission and then there were six.
Six redshirted ensigns counted days they were alive.
One went on away mission and then there were five.
Five redshirted ensigns couldnīt care for peace or war.
One went on away mission and then there were four.
Four redshirted ensigns knew that they were not to be.
One went on away mission and then there were three.
Three redshirted ensigns had their nightmares coming true.
One went on away mission and then there were two.
Two redshirted ensigns were too scared to have fun.
One went on away mission and then there were just one.
The final Ensign Redshirt got promoted just in time.
And luckily for both of us, that word will fit the rhyme.
One went on away mission and then there were nine.
Nine redshirted ensigns knew that help would come to late.
One went on away mission and then there were eight.
Eight redshirted ensigns knew they gonna go to heaven.
One went on away mission and then there were seven.
Seven redshirted ensigns prayed that there would be a fix.
One went on away mission and then there were six.
Six redshirted ensigns counted days they were alive.
One went on away mission and then there were five.
Five redshirted ensigns couldnīt care for peace or war.
One went on away mission and then there were four.
Four redshirted ensigns knew that they were not to be.
One went on away mission and then there were three.
Three redshirted ensigns had their nightmares coming true.
One went on away mission and then there were two.
Two redshirted ensigns were too scared to have fun.
One went on away mission and then there were just one.
The final Ensign Redshirt got promoted just in time.
And luckily for both of us, that word will fit the rhyme.
This is one of three parody versions I have written based on Agatha Christieīs nursery rhyme "Ten little indians". I once heard the original being performed live and unplugged by a guitarist playing solo. That didnīt work very well (in fact, it sucked) and I doubt it has ever been recorded, but Iīm posting my versions here anyway. If nothing else, they could be regarded as a capella versions or something like that. But if the moderator(s) here donīt wanna approve of them as song parodies, and remove these three contributions, so be it. Đ Nospamsnaggletoth@hotmail.com
