This is a little songfic based on 'The Cat Came Back' by Raffi….I never really liked songfics, but I think coming up with this has changed my mind. Enjoy!

Now old Captain Kirk had troubles of his own,

He had a herd of tribbles who wouldn't leave his home

So he sent them to the Klingons using FedEx

Delivery the next daaaaaay

But the tribbles came back the very next day

The tribbles came back, he thought they were a goner

The tribbles came back, they just couldn't stay awaaaaay

Now the man around the corner swore he'd kill a tribble on sight

He super-charged his phaser, but blew himself to bits

But it's ok, he was a redshirt anywaaaaay

And the tribbles came back the very next day

The tribbles came back, he thought they were a goner

The tribbles came back, they just couldn't stay awaaaaay

So he gave them to a man going up to a ship

He told him beam them off, he better be quick

The shuttle came down about 90 miles away

Where is the man now, well he was a redshirt anywaaaay

And the tribbles came back the very next day

The tribbles came back, he thought they were a goner

The tribbles came back, they just couldn't stay awaaaaay

He gave them to a man going out to deep space

Told him give them to your enemies, they'll do the rest

First they went to Klingon space, offered them a gift

What happened to those men, well they were redshirts anywaaaaay

And the tribbles came back the very next day

The tribbles came back, he thought they were a goner

The tribbles came back, they just couldn't stay awaaaaaay

Now the tribbles were possessors of families all their own

Someone must have fed them, cause tribblets did abound

The Klingons showed up, with their FedEx tracking number

Soon the air was filled with tribblets, but not a one was ever found

And the tribbles came back the very next day

The tribbles came back, he thought they were a goner

The tribbles came back, they just couldn't stay awaaaaaay
