lyrics

LYRICS:

Fellow traveler!
Let me tell you how I came to run this ship--
Promise no shit--maybe

Humble beginnings, farmer's only son out in space
With big honest thoughts of laying claim to a place
I caught the dream, didn't spoil the cream
Worked hard to get to the top and that's it--

Just kidding I'm rich, my daddy bought me this heap of shit
Judge for a system with a thousand observable blips
Caught with melange, so he kept me outta bars
And forced me on this bucket 'cross these motherfuckin' stars

Pleased to meet you
I'm Captain Koernig
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
I'll try whatever you're having

In the Old-Earth-German, Koernig meant "king"
Guess y'all didn't know how high I'd wing it
Crew hates me 'cuz I'm smoking so much space weed
The fuck knew you could hotbox a Nebulon 6?

I did, and I do it every star date
I did, and I do it every star date
I did, and I do it every star date
I did, and I do it every star date

Who the fuck are you?
I'm Captain Koernig
Get off my ship
I'm high as fuck, oh my God, who are you?

Hey Darla, wanna make a bit of money?
You see, there's a job transportin' some honey
Through a slip of a trip into Reoba's Kip
There's just a bit of a problem that I can't really skip

Darla, ever heard of fuckin' Space Bears?
They kill your family and then shit on your face
Reoba's Kip is drippin' scary with the gnarly fuckers
Could get mauled, but sounds like fun! *cough*

<whispers>
Captain Koernig
Captain Koernig
Captain Koernig
Captain Koernig...
