Beta Canon Blue Note

Intro - Spoken, Half-Sung

Nineteen-sixty-seven

Four-color beaming

No transporters

Just paper dreaming

Verse 1

DC got the license

New crew on the decks

Bearclaw on point

Bryce on helm in blue

Chu-Sa chirping triage

Konom growling Qapla' too

DC let the beta-canon bloom

Verse 2 - Half-Time, Upright Bass

Malibu on the habitat ring

Thirty-two issues deep

Marvel brought the cadets

Omega and Nog can't sleep

Pike on Talos IV

Before Kirk took the seat

Pre-Chorus

Every imprint left a mark

Every panel held a spark

From one coast to the other

We found a home in another

Chorus

Mirror mirror on the hull

ISS-D black and gold

Picard with a dagger not a book

Troi never does what she's told

Terran Empire swing

Do the Mirror War strut

Dee-bop ya-ree

Betrayal in the cut

Drop

Mirror on the hull

Mirror on the hull

Black and gold

Black and gold

Bridge - Trumpet + Rhodes

Odo's rain on level five

Shape-shiftin' blue note minor

Quark's got a corgi in cargo bay

Latinum collared liner

Fool's gold glitters

But loyalty pays

Solo - Alto Sax, Sixteen Bars

Chorus

Mirror mirror on the hull

ISS-D black and gold

Picard with a dagger not a book

Troi never does what she's told

Terran Empire swing

Do the Mirror War strut

Dee-bop ya-ree

Betrayal in the cut

Outro

From Gold Key to IDW

Beta's where we roam

Not canon but canon-ish

Still feels like home

So spin it again

At Quark's after hours

Mm

Mm-hmm
