The New StarBlazers Battle Theme

by Nick Pollatta

To the tune of: "It's A Small World After All"
(with apologies to everyone in the entire country of Japan)


Planet bombs hit the planet Earth,
and the Gammelons looked on this with mirth.
Deslock, the blue said (lisp) "What can they do?"
They've got just one ship and crew?"
(booming bass)
But its a starship so big you'd be sure I lied,
that you need a map and a native guide,
With the Wave Motion Gun,
we'll put them on the run,
We're the Star Force after all!

We're the Star Force after all,
We're the Star Force after all,
We're the Star Force after all,
We're the Star Force after all!!

Now WildStar is the captain here,
'cause Avator didn't last a year,
The crew, brave and bold,
rarely do as they're told,
We're the Star Force after all!

We're the Star Force after all,
We're the Star Force after all,
We're the Star Force after all,
We're the Star Force after all!!

Now Dr. Sane says he does not drink,
but he talks to his cat, and his breath does stink,
Sergeant Knox, Space Marine!
is as dumb, as he's mean,
We're the Star Force after all!

We're the Star Force after all,
We're the Star Force after all,
We're the Star Force after all,
We're the Star Force after all!!

So we blasted their fleet, till they feared our name,
and left Gammelon as a ball of flame,
(sad)
We don't like to fight,
(bold)
But we sure do it right!
We're the Star Force after all!

We're the Star Force after all!
We're the Star Force after all!
(only one voice)
Star Blazers sometimes we're called,
(all)
We're...the...Star...Force...After...All.......(hold)
(gruff voice during this)
We'll be back. By god, we'll be back!
