Someone must have done this...

...probably filkertom, but here goes anyway. Just the chorus:

Leave Argo, leave Argo,
Though we hate to see you go,
If you want to stay alive let your departure not be slow.
You have done quite enough,
Please don't stop to pack your stuff,
Just get out beyond our border
While we still have law and order,
Captain, sir, tell your crew
That we've had enough of you,
Though you may well be the good guys, even so,
You've gone and got us pissed
So cross us off your list,
And leave Argo, leave Argo, leave Argo.

Sorry...

EDIT: Oh dear...

Leave Argo, leave Argo,
What you reap is what you sow,
You have dealt our tourist industry a devastating blow.
Our hotels and our bars
Now ban clients from the stars,
And our colourful bordelloes
Only trade with home-grown fellows.
We will tell Fleet Command
That their vessels all are banned,
And the reason for the ban they soon will know.
We're stocking up on ghakh
To get the Klingons back,
So leave Argo, leave Argo, leave Argo.

I think this is the last of it...

Leave Argo, leave Argo,
Well, it all just goes to show
When an alien race comes calling it is best to just say No.
We don't mind harmless fun
But when all is said and done
Our main port has gone to blazes since you tested out your phasers.
So get out, hit the trail
Or we'll put you all in jail,
When you're gone, oh what a party we will throw!
Though you drank all our booze
And blocked our public loos
We'll find a way to mark the end of your furlough--
Just leave Argo,
Leave Argo,
Leave Argo!

The tune?

[jonathan waite (from livejournal.com)]

"Be Our Guest," from Beauty And The Beast. I think I drifted off the structure at the end of that last verse, but I don't know the song that well. Tom Smith filked it as "Be Our GOH," (guest of honour) and this has been going to happen ever since I heard that.

In case you hadn't heard of it, one of the key elements of filk's creation myth is a song by Leslie Fish called "Banned From Argo," loosely based on original Trek, composed to fill up a gap at the end of an album of political songs, and so wildly popular that she eventually refused to do it any more. So this plays into that as well.

Hee! It's great now I can hear it.
