On Gauda Prime
(to the tune of Copacabana by Barry Manilow)
Her name was Jenna
She was a smuggler
Called by some "Ten Credit Touch"
Though that may have been too much
Blake never noticed
How much she loved him
Though she was not the rebel sort
Jenna gave Blake her support
Until that fatal day
When she ran the blockade
Not to be taken in alive
That was the choice she made
Yes, on Gauda, on Gauda Prime
A planet where murder's no crime
Yes on Gauda, on Gauda Prime
End of the story, it's gonna be gory
Yes on Gauda - it all went wrong
His name was Roj Blake
He was a rebel
A man of deeply held beliefs
And enormous baggy sleeves
Went undercover
A bounty hunter
But Blake just didn't realise
Avon trusted the disguise
So then Avon shot Blake
It was his last mistake
First the crew, then a lot of gunshots
All too much to take
Yes, on Gauda, on Gauda Prime
A planet where murder's no crime
Yes on Gauda, on Gauda Prime
End of the story, it's gonna be gory
Yes on Gauda - it all went wrong
Gauda - Gauda Prime - end of the story - gonna be gory
His name was Avon
He was a psycho
Guess he'd been running for so long
That his marbles had all gone
Now it's all over
But not for Avon
He's in the Federation's care
But he doesn't know he's there
His days and nights are filled
With loneliness and guilt
He lost his purpose and lost his reason
When his friends were killed
Yes, on Gauda, on Gauda Prime
A planet where murder's no crime
Yes on Gauda, on Gauda Prime
End of the story, it's gonna be gory
Yes on Gauda - it all went wrong
