Trip is tripping...
Filk to the tune of Monty Python's "Lumberjack" song, written for 2Distracted's filk challenge at Triaxian Silk. Season 3 Trip. He's extremely sleep deprived and gradually loses it as he makes less and less sense...
A/N: Heh. It's the second time I have a sleep deprived Trip in a fic. He was sleep deprived in my "Family, Take 2" fic as well...
He's an Engineer
TRIP:
I'm an engineer and I'm alright
I work all day and stay up all night
CREW:
He's an engineer and he's alright
He works all day and stays up all night
TRIP:
I wear loud shirts, I get knocked up
I play the harmonica.
I watch some scary movies
With my Frankie replica.
CREW:
He wears loud shirts, he gets knocked up
He plays the harmonica.
He watches scary movies
With his Frankie replica.
He's an engineer and he's alright
He works all day and stays up all night
TRIP:
I make a point to often purge
The plasma manifold.
I use the plasma coolant
To keep my beer stash cold.
CREW:
He makes a point to often purge
The plasma manifold.
He uses plasma coolant...
To keep his beer stash cold??
He's an engineer and he's alright

TRIP:
I have to keep the pressure high
So Enterprise will float.
I've never been to college
And learned it on a boat.
CREW:
He has to keep the pressure high
And-- WAIT a minute... WHAT?!?!
PHLOX:
O... kay... guess that does it for you. Neuropressure. T'Pol's quarters. Chop-chop!
