Marc Gunn & The Dubliners' Tabby Cats The Mining Ship The Red Dwarf
The mining ship the Red Dwarf
Is careening off into space
Three million years its been adrift
You're the last of the human race
You were frozen in a stasis tube
For saving Frankenstein
The cat race Grandma was in the hull
When it became "Gazpacho" time
--chorus--
And it's cheer up MREOOW!
How I'm looking now?
On the mining ship the Red Dwarf
I'm the coolest Cat around
I'll have one fish for my breakfast
I'll have two fish for my tea
I'll learn to fish from the food dispenser
Six fish is all I need
I wear my suit of gold lamee
And earrings like fish bones
I spend my day investigating
And playing with my Yo-Yo. (Look at my shiny thing)
If the despair squid gets his way
I may lose my cool and flip
Imagine I have buck teeth so big
Druids go there to worship
Some may say that I'm a shallow guy
But the Inquistor knows it's true
But an arse like mine is quite divine
So have a look or two
Here's a health to my man Ace Rimmer
Likewise to Frankenstein
Here's a health now to that mirror there
I can see I'm looking fine
My organs are color-coordinated
My stomach is feng shui
My heart it thumps with a funky beat
Like a salsa dance gourmet
I'm gonna get you little fishies
I'm gonna get you little fish
I hope I don't break another tooth
In a future echo rift
Then I'll play a game called Better Than Life
Have a mermaid girlfriend
She's top half fish and lass below
And tastes good on both ends
