I attended a couple of filking sessions at Worldcon over the weekend,
and got "Banned From Argo" stuck in my head, and had to do this to get
it out.
I couldn't think of verses for Luca or Sheryl. Feel free to add them if
you want.
BANNED FROM EDEN
To the tune of "Banned From Argo" by Leslie Fish

If you want to know the tune, there's a slightly remixed version done as
a Torchwood vid at

wouldn't play the Star Trek version properly)
When we pulled into Eden Port in need of R & R
The crew set out investigating every joint and bar
We had high expectations of their hospitality
But found it wasn't geared for mercenaries such as we
And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore
Our squadron leader headed out, there was no time to waste
Just one problem, their preferred music was not to his taste
So he hooked up some king-size speakers to his Valkyrie
And shared his love for Fire Bomber with the whole city
And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore
Our new recruit, though nervous, ventured forward nonetheless
We kid you not when we say he looked like a real princess
He drank seven shots of tequila in some tranny bar
And next thing he was making out atop a police car
And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore
We left it to our sniper, sure that he’d pick up the slack
He didn’t know what happened, but things suddenly went black
The sight he saw when he came to, he could only lie and watch
As he realised he was pantsless, with a loli on his crotch
And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore
The commander of Pixie Squadron went to hit the scene
She told us she would make it with the man of her dreams
She ducked into a back alley to some weird Zentradei shop
To buy something she said would result in her being on top
And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore
Our rising Cinderella seized her chance to perform live
The outcome we’re not sure the population will survive
The course is set for her success, I’m sure she’ll be a star
It’s just too bad her biggest fans are swarms of Vaj-a-ra!
And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore
We’re honoured to be SMS, and our record is our pride
We’re sorry ‘bout the swarm of roaches seventy feet wide
We're sorry 'bout the wreckage and the riots and the fuss
At least we're sure that planet won't be quick forgetting us
And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore (wonder why?)
