Intro - spoken, half-sung
Nineteen-sixty-seven, four-color beaming
No transporters, just paper dreaming
Space cowboy Kirk, drawn with a lasso
Gold Key couldn't touch the real status quo
Verse 1
Bearclaw on point, Bryce on helm in blue
Chu-Sa chirping triage, Konom growling Qapla' too
DC let the beta-canon bloom
New crew born on paper, no TV room
Pre-Chorus
Rights swapped hands, ink still poured
Every panel a fresh frontier ignored
Chorus
Mirror, mirror on the hull, ISS-D black and gold
Picard with 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
Verse 2
Malibu on the habitat ring, thirty-two issues deep
Marvel brought the cadets, Omega, Nog can't sleep
Pike on Talos IV, before Kirk took the seat
Every spinner rack a new fleet
Pre-Chorus
Rights swapped hands, ink still poured
Every panel a fresh frontier ignored
Chorus
Mirror, mirror on the hull, ISS-D black and gold
Picard with 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
Bridge
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
Sacrifice too long, darker days
Chorus
Mirror, mirror on the hull, ISS-D black and gold
Picard with 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, mm-mm, mm-mm-hmm
