Leslie Fish - Pride of Chanur lyrics

Our ear tufts are gleaming with rings of bright gold Our dress is as rich as the goods in our hold Yet we pause on the ramp for a moment, in shock To see the strange creature that bolts from the dock It dodges our claws and leaps straight through the lock Right into the Pride of Chanur We are the Pride of Chanur Glossy of eye, fang, and fur Our fame is unblemished Our ship is the best For we are the Pride of Chanur Now, this is no beast, for it knows where to run Knows when it's trapped, recognizes a gun Despite signs of hunger and cuts in its hide It stands to defy us with true Hani pride Then writes unknown letters in the blood from its side On the deck of the Pride of Chanur We are the Pride of Chanur Glossy of eye, fang, and fur Our fame is unblemished Our ship is the best For we are the Pride of Chanur Now this is a prize and a mystery to track And here come the Kif thieves demanding it back Now shall we give over and meekly obey Once more let the pirates of Kif have their way? They've robbed us before, but they'll not win today! No deal from the Pride of Chanur! We are the Pride of Chanur Glossy of eye, fang, and fur Our fame is unblemished Our ship is the best For we are the Pride of Chanur They've fired on the station, the jump-point, and more They're halting all trade and they've started a war! Great Gods, how enormous the trouble has grown For the sake of one male of a species unknown Would we have done better to leave him alone? Hell no, not the Pride of Chanur! We are the Pride of Chanur Glossy of eye, fang, and fur Our fame is unblemished Our ship is the best For we are the Pride of Chanur Aye, we are the Pride of Chanur!
