Lyrics

[00:04.72] When we pulled into Argo Port in need of R & R
[00:08.34] The crew set out investigating every joint and bar
[00:12.12] We had high expectations of their hospitality
[00:15.74] But found too late it wasn't geared for spacers such as we
[00:19.37] And we're banned from Argo, every one
[00:23.82] Banned from Argo just for having a little fun
[00:27.13] We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
[00:30.95] But Argo doesn't want us anymore
[00:34.92] Our captain's tastes were simple but his methods were complex
[00:38.50] We found him with five partners each of a different world and sex
[00:42.08] The shore police were on the way, we had no second chance
[00:45.85] We beamed him up in the nick of time and the remnants of his pants
[00:49.52] And we're banned from Argo, every one
[00:53.85] Banned from Argo just for having a little fun
[00:57.23] We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
[01:00.95] But Argo doesn't want us anymore
[01:06.63] Our engineer would yield to none in putting down the brew
[01:10.31] He out-drank seven space marines and a demolition crew
[01:14.02] The navigator didn't win but he out-drank almost all
[01:17.59] And now they've got a shuttlecraft on the roof of City Hall
[01:21.37] And we're banned from Argo, every one
[01:25.80] Banned from Argo just for having a little fun
[01:29.04] We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
[01:32.86] But Argo doesn't want us anymore
[01:38.70] Our proper cool first officer was drugged with something green
[01:42.03] And hauled into an alley, where he suffered things obscene
[01:45.75] He sobered up in sickbay and he's none the worse for wear
[01:49.58] Except he somehow taught the bridge computer how to swear
[01:53.26] And we're banned from Argo, every one
[01:57.48] Banned from Argo just for having a little fun
[02:01.02] We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
[02:04.75] But Argo doesn't want us anymore
[02:10.60] The head nurse disappeared a while in the major dope bazaar
[02:13.98] Buying an odd green potion guaranteed to cause pon farr
[02:17.64] She came home with no uniform and an oddly cheerful heart
[02:21.47] And a painful way of walking with her feet a yard apart
[02:24.94] And we're banned from Argo, every one
[02:29.42] Banned from Argo just for having a little fun
[02:32.96] We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
[02:36.73] But Argo doesn't want us anymore
[02:42.96] Our lady of communications won a ship-wide bet
[02:46.18] By getting into the planet's main communications net
[02:49.97] Now every time someone calls up on an Argo telescreen,
[02:53.55] The flesh is there, but the clothes they wear are nowhere to be seen
[02:57.18] And we're banned from Argo, every one
[03:01.55] Banned from Argo just for having a little fun
[03:04.98] We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
[03:08.86] But Argo doesn't want us anymore
[03:14.69] Our Doctor loves Humanity; his private life is quiet
[03:18.22] The Shore Police arrested him for inciting whores to riot
[03:21.90] We found him in the city jail, locked on and beamed him free
[03:25.78] Intact except for hickeys and six kinds of VD
[03:29.80] And we're banned from Argo, every one
[03:33.89] Banned from Argo just for having a little fun
[03:37.20] We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
[03:41.10] But Argo doesn't want us anymore
[03:47.21] Our Helmsman loves exotic plants; the plants all love him too
[03:50.55] He took some down on leave with him and we wondered what they'd do,
[03:54.19] Till the planetary governor called and swore upon his life
[03:57.83] That a gang of plants entwined his house and then seduced his wife!
[04:01.53] And we're banned from Argo, every one
[04:06.03] Banned from Argo just for having a little fun
[04:09.33] We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
[04:13.11] But Argo doesn't want us anymore
[04:19.00] A gang of pirates landed, and nobody seemed to care
[04:22.54] They stamped into the nearest bar to announce that they were there
[04:26.21] Half our crew was busy there, and invited them to play,
[04:29.93] But the pirates only looked at us, and turned and ran away
[04:34.20] And we're banned from Argo, every one
[04:38.23] Banned from Argo just for having a little fun
[04:41.45] We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
[04:45.32] But Argo doesn't want us anymore
[05:20.74] Our crew is Starfleet's finest, and our record is our pride
[05:24.31] And when we play we tend to leave a trail a mile wide
[05:27.99] We're sorry about the wreckage and the riots and the fuss;
[05:31.68] At least we're sure that planet won't be quick forgetting us!
[05:35.31] And we're banned from Argo, every one
[05:39.48] Banned from Argo just for having a little fun
[05:43.05] We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
[05:47.03] But Argo doesn't want us anymore
