Lyrics.
When we pulled into Argo Port in need of R&R,
The crew set out investigating every joint and bar.
We had high expectations of their hospitality,
But found too late it wasn't geared for spacers such as we.
(Chorus)
And we're banned from Argo, everyone!
Banned from Argo, just for having a little fun!
We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four,
But Argo doesn't want us anymore.
The Captain's tastes were simple, but his methods were complex.
We found him with five partners, each of a different world and sex.
The Shore Police were on the way-we had no second chance.
We beamed him up in the nick of time and the remnants of his pants.
(Chorus)
Our Engineer would yield to none at putting down the brew;
He outdrank seven space marines and a demolition crew.
The Navigator didn't win, but he out-drank almost all,
And now they've got a shuttlecraft on the roof of City Hall.
(Chorus)
Our proper, cool First Officer was drugged with something green
And hauled into an alley, where he suffered things obscene.
He sobered up in Sickbay and he's none the worse for wear,
Except he's somehow taught the bridge computer how to swear.
(Chorus)
The Head Nurse disappeared a while in the major dope bazaar,
Buying an odd green potion "guaranteed to cause Pon Farr."
She came home with no uniform and an oddly cheerful heart,
And a painful way of walking with her feet a yard apart.
(Chorus)
Our lady of Communications won a ship-wide bet
By getting into the planet's main communications net.
Now every time someone calls up on an Argo telescreen,
The flesh is there, but the clothes they wear are nowhere to be seen.
(Chorus)
Our Doctor loves Humanity; his private life is quiet.
The Shore Police arrested him for inciting whores to riot.
We found him in the city jail, locked on and beamed him free-
Intact except for hickeys and six kinds of VD.
(Chorus)
Our Helmsman loves exotic plants; the plants all love him too.
He took some down on leave with him and we wondered what they'd do,
Till the planetary governor called and swore upon his life
That a gang of plants entwined his house and then seduced his wife!
(Chorus)
A gang of Klingons landed, and nobody seemed to care.
They stamped into the nearest bar to announce that they were there.
Half our crew was busy there, and invited them to play,
But the Klingons only looked at us, and turned and ran away.
(Chorus)
Our crew is Starfleet's finest, and our record is our pride.
And when we play we tend to leave a trail a mile wide.
We're sorry about 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 Argo, every one!
Banned from Argo, just for having a little fun!
We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four,
But Argo doesn't want us anymore...wonder why?

"Fuck off space tojo" -Tex
Thunderin' Jesus, the past 20 minutes have been a TRIP. A random background song in a KSP stream introduced me to a whole new genre of music I never even knew existed. A big thanks to Tex at the Black Pants Legion for having this in the background of his stream, and for you for uploading this song. "Bawdy scifi-themed folk music" certainly wasn't the music style I expected to discover today, but it's a welcome surprise.

Welcome to the genre of Filk, where there is music about Superman's sex life and Valdemar's Heralds, as well as post-nuclear survival tips from an anarchist perspective. You most certainly won't be bored here ;) Post-Nuclear, not post-modern. I'm too tired, sorry

i never thought about this song like that...
The Filk genre tickles something deep within my east coast brain, the same way Paddy Murphy does. I feel the need to be at a bar or pub, a mug of something strong in one hand, and a crowded wooden table of friends to bang our fists off of.
Swap the Sci-Fi bits for their real-world counterparts and you’ve got the average long weekend for some soldiers. And their long suffering platoon leader has to deal with the fallout on Monday morning. Bored E-4’s will be the death of me, I swear.

Honestly, they need to do a whole musical episode with a Cerritos-variant of this song.
Every time I get a boink from a GM in space station 13 I always picture the song playing.
Kirk: "I know a café there where the women are so...."
I remember buying this cassette when it came out. Thank you for the memories!
havin' a lil' fun is the old way of 'doing a little trolling', I've just realized
This is so cool and heartwarming. Love Trekkies.
"And that's the LAST time the USS Cerritos arranged shore leave for the Fleet"
Word of caution: When GMing a game of SpaceMaster, having this play when setting may unsettle some players.
I heard the artist herself only made this because the casette had room left. She put something together quickly, and disliked it herself, or at least did not like it being her most popular song.

I don't know about “because the cassette had room left,” but it's a matter of public record that Leslie Fish is annoyed at the overblown popularity of the song. Or at least was annoyed years ago.

Thank you so much for uploading these! I've been looking for high quality copies to download for ages.
You have my eternal love and respect.
hey rocketman helped me get my filk up on youtube too
i love you for this
I hope to party this hard
It's a space shanty, yeah? The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I also like that Leslie Fish wrote a story about this one. That story is a lot more nuanced though, which I actually like.
this song is so dumb, "we got banned from this whole town for fucking, drinking, and fucking some more across this town and dipped after the third day like a reverse jesus", but i absolutely adore it
My new favorite song lol
