Warning: The following music parody contains massive spoilers to the episode "All Good Things." My recommendation is that this is one episode you should see unspoiled, even if you usually don't mind spoilers.

	A long, long time ago,
	I can still remember
	How adventure used to make me smile.
	And I knew if I had a ship,
	I could take some fateful trips,
	And boldly visit new worlds in fine style,
	But a thing called Q got in the way,
	Walls everywhere gave us delay,
	At Farpoint we were winning,
	Seven-year voyage beginning.
	I can't remember if I cried
	When I learned my synapses would be fried,
	But my involvement was not denied
	The day the Terrans died.


	So,
	Bye bye, there is no second try,
	Drove my starship to the time rift but the shockwave flew by,
	Our old pal Q was putting humans on trial
	Singing, "This will be the day that you die,
	This will be the day that you die."


	Did you tie up all your grapevines?
	Did you see gray beards, facial lines
	On the crew you flew with years ago?
	Now do you believe in Fleet orders
	Despite temptation across borders?
	To start a war now or then's a big no-no!
	And I know that you're in love with Bev,
	Despite divorce, your engines rev.
	You both tried oh so hard,
	To be Captain Picard.
	I had a brand new ship and a tight red shirt,
	Didn't want my new crew's feelings hurt,
	But I had to call that red alert
	The day the Terrans died.


	I started singing:
	Bye bye, there is no second try,
	Drove my starship to the time rift but the shockwave flew by,
	Our old pal Q was putting humans on trial
	Singing, "This will be the day that you die,
	This will be the day that you die."


	Now for five years Tasha's been twice dead,
	O'Brien's doing tech instead,
	But that's not how it used to be.
	When LaForge saw me with his own eyes,
	His belly had some added size,
	And he'd finally made Dr. Brahms a mom of three.
	Oh but while Picard looked so sublime,
	He shifted to another time.
	The crew was fresh and green,
	No new-improved machines!
	And while Romulans on the border massed,
	The captain came back from the past,
	And we watched the strange and shrinking blast
	The day the Terrans died.



	We were singing:
	Bye bye, there is no second try,
	Drove my starship to the time rift but the shockwave flew by,
	Our old pal Q was putting humans on trial
	Singing, "This will be the day that you die,
	This will be the day that you die."


	Kitty, Kitty in Cambridge City,
	The android Data's sitting pretty,
	To the Neutral Zone at Warp thirteeeeeeeen ...
	The Pasteur was on no milk run,
	In dangerous space and with few guns,
	With the Admiral in his cloaked, refit machine.
	Now the old French air was sweet brimstone,
	As life on Earth was still unknown,
	The peptides tried to dance,
	Whoa, but they never got the chance!
	For the anti-time devolved the soup,
	Humanity thrown out of the loop,
	Do you recall what was the scoop,
	The day the Terrans died?


	We started singing:
	Bye bye, there is no second try,
	Drove my starship to the time rift but the shockwave flew by,
	Our old pal Q was putting humans on trial
	Singing, "This will be the day that you die,
	This will be the day that you die."


	And there we were all in one place,
	An anomaly in time and space,
	With Enterprises then and now,
	So come on, Jean-Luc Picard, take a stab,
	Anti-time must flow sdrawkcab,
	This thing must be sealed off and you know how.
	And as I watched him in the court,
	With our race making fun and sport,
	No answer yes or no,
	Would tell me where to go.
	And as the starships flew into the night
	To set whatever was wrong right,
	I saw Q there laughing with delight,
	The day the Terrans died.


	He was singing:
	Bye bye, there is no second try,
	Drove my starship to the time rift but the shockwave flew by,
	Our old pal Q was putting humans on trial
	Singing, "This will be the day that you die,
	This will be the day that you die."


	I met a girl who played some cards
	And I told her I was Jean-Luc Picard,
	And she just smiled and let me play.
	I went down to the corridor
	Where I'd asked the time so long before,
	But the couple there told me it was today.
	And on the ship the children screamed,
	The bridge crew worked and the away-teams beamed,
	But no alerts were spoken ...
	The subspace wasn't broken.
	And the three folks that I'd always liked:
	The Klingon, Troi, and William Rike'
	They told their bad feelings to take a hike
	The day the Terrans died.


	And they were singing:
	Bye bye, there is no second try,
	Drove my starship to the time rift but the shockwave flew by,
	Our old pal Q was putting humans on trial
	Singing, "This will be the day that you die,
	This will be the day that you die."


	They were singing:
	Bye bye, there is no second try,
	Drove my starship to the time rift but the shockwave flew by,
	Our old pal Q was putting humans on trial
	Singing, "This will never end; I'll drop by!"
