INT. CSS Astrid Bridge [music is TootSweets?, from ChittyChittyBangBang?, a song which has so many rhymes it's unreal; most but not all are reproduced below]
I went back and fixed the missing rhymes like six years later. For reasons that would take too long to go into. --SF
Sgt Cole: Don't risk your invasion on old transportation And don't build a frigate or sloop For the absolute best in galactic conquest There's a new way to land a ground troop Attack with no fear! A ship without peer! Try one, you'll want a whole group!
Drop Ships Drop Ships A ship that keeps hopping, can drop and can lift Drop Ships Drop Ships For armies that really can shift!
Major Parker: Drop Ships Drop Ships Uproot a whole troop and thick armour to boot Drop Ships Drop Ships Launch no more offensives on foot
Cole: Don't risk your invasion on old transportation
Parker: And don't build a frigate or sloop For the absolute best in galactic conquest
Cole: There's a new way to land a ground troop
Parker: Attack with no fear!
Cole: A ship without peer!
Both: Try one, you'll want a whole group! Drop Ships Drop Ships A lander that takes off at last has been found Drop Ships Drop Ships There's nothing that covers more ground!
Director Hayes: No - take it away
Parker: Director, please! [a simulation of a Crayven assault plays out] Hmmm [smiles all round]
Cole: She likes it!
Cast: [cheers]
Cole: Their value's intrinsic Parker: Surpass any old ship Troops: Eat obsolete crusiers for lunch Cole: Though fighters are fast Parker: And destroyers a blast Troops: And a battleship's guns pack a punch Parker and Cole: That fast assault craft Bridge Officers: The soldier's liferaft Troops: Will keep you alive in the crunch!
All: Drop Ships Drop Ships Drop Ships Drop Ships
Cole: That fast assault craft Parker: The soldier's liferaft
All: Will keep you alive in the crunch! Drop Ships Drop Ships A lander that takes off has at last been found Drop Ships Drop Ships The ship that's so droppable Readily Hoppable Bound and unstoppable Bound!
PARKER and TROOPS file into Dropship and blast off to Krig-7B. Fade to black.
"A battlefield option supreme!" is really supposed to rhyme with "sloop" and "troop". Sigh. Any ideas?
''"The ship that makes us cock-a-hoop"? --CH, being rubbish again
