Weeklies: May Will Bloom at GaRF, Kiss Me I'm Sci F'Irish (Patreon)

Greetings Gunn Runners

First, the song lyrics I shared last week have a new song title. My kids didn’t like the name. Brainstorming with Inara I came up with “Rebel Doctor”. She cleverly said it should be called “Doctor Rebel”, which is what I’m calling it going forward.

I released an album pin called “Kiss Me, I’m Sci F’Irish” a couple years ago. I always thought I should record this song. I meant to write an original melody. But I had “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” by Gaelic Storm stuck in my head. One line solidified this melody…

Kiss Me, I’m Sci F’Irish

Lyrics Marc Gunn, music Gaelic Storm

New songs and new stories
They keep us alive
Thinking about our future
Is how we survive
I am a starship
Warping off into space
Discovering just how our minds will
Save the human race

Kiss me, I’m Sci F’Irish
I run a transporter
My smiling eyes shoot lasers
Pour me another porter
I like Aldebaran whiskey
And dancing a jig
Don’t know where we go
Just climb aboard my ship
Kiss me, I’m Sci F’Irish

I love Klingon blood wine
And of course, mudder’s milk
I take a song that I love…
Turn it to filk
My heart beats a jig
And my blood, it flows green
You say I’m unemotional
But I am just a Vulcan

Kiss me, I’m Sci F’Irish
I run a transporter
My smiling eyes shoot lasers
Pour me another porter
I like Aldebaran whiskey
And dancing a jig
Don’t know where we go
Just climb aboard my ship
Kiss me, I’m Sci F’Irish

I may fall like a whale
But I can never be beat
It’s an upside down world
That I love to greet
The stars may go out
I save the universe
I’m a Captain, The Doctor, a pilot
Helllloo nurse

Kiss me, I’m Sci F’Irish
I run a transporter
My smiling eyes shoot lasers
Pour me another porter
I like Aldebaran whiskey
And dancing a jig
Don’t know where we go
Just climb aboard my ship
Kiss me, I’m Sci F’Irish

Galway, Gallifrey, New York, Endor
Seattle, Arakis, Dublin, Bajor
Ariel, Atlanta, Skaro, Skibereen
Raise your glass and sing, sing to Tatooine

Kiss me, I’m Sci F’Irish
I’m chief of transporters
My smiling eyes shoot lasers
Pour me another porter
I like Aldebaran whiskey
And dancing a jig
Don’t know where we go
Just climb aboard my ship
Kiss me, I’m Sci F’Irish
