The Ballad of Temi Dassee

Little Princess Temi Dassee / 
was a sweet Venusian lassie / 
loved by handsome Derek Deems, / 
he had met her in his dreams.

That was nineteen forty-one, / 
and Derek never dreamed that one / 
enchanted day, yes, he might fly / to his Venusian sweetie-pie.

But in nineteen sixty-two / 
space ships wended thru the blue. / 
It was a common thing to see / 
and Derek had held faithfully.

To his dream of Temi Dassee / 
his distant, dear, Venusian lassie. / 
So, within a space ship proud, / 
He went sailing thru a cloud,

off to visit Venus fair / 
to seek his Temi Dassee there. /  
To his horror, when he landed, / 
there was Temi Dassee stranded / 
on a desert in the clutch / 
of a slavering Sealamutch.

Derek Deems drew out his blaster, / 
pointed it as Soala, faster / 
that the eye could ever follow, / 
but the blaster beam was hollow!

No effect on the weird critter / 
could be seen. So with a bitter / 
yell of rage brave Derek ran / 
to battle Soala hand to hand.
