The Baby Sister's Here
to the tune of: The Babysitter's Here
by Dar Williams

This one was just great:
She negotiated peace
Now she's cooked us a souffle and told the Cardassians
"Don't get pushy"
I don't understand how she managed to win
With just a nacelle and a bent safety pin
But there's angst and romance ...

She's the guest star that we never had
With long flowing hair, and Picard is her dad,
And she sits on the Bridge
And she's got Guinan's ear
So "Warp speed, Ensign,"
The baby sister's here!

Her boyfriend is Worf,
Or maybe it's Riker this week
Her makeup is perfect, her brain is top notch
And her back story's unique:
A lovechild born in the depths of the night
A wanna-be doctor, and quick in a fight,
And we want to be her ...

Someday, I'll write a story just like that.

She's the guest star that we never had
With short pretty hair, I think Q is her dad,
And she drinks scotch and whiskey and maybe a beer,
So "Warp speed, Ensign,"
The baby sister's here!

And we all read the story where she was the hero
And stopped the Borg ship,
And she helped all the Vulcans to meet with the Romulans
And renew friendships
And there she was leading the fight on her own
(And she swears that they're real and not silicone)
And she's won ...

Wait.  If the story is called "The Baby Sister"
And she's the baby sister, that means the star of the show
Is *my* new character!

Now the war is all done,
And she's gasped her penultimate breath,
She says, "Make a new peace in my name"
And in Worf's arms she goes still in death
And everyone's crying with tears like the rain
As Worf lets a death scream full out in his pain
'Cause she's gone forever ...

You were the guest star that we never had,
With beauty shop hair, living up to your dad,
And we know you'll come back in the sequel next year,
So "Warp speed, Ensign,"
The baby sister's here,
The next baby sister's here.
