MAHENDO'SAT

(Tune: "Pride of Chanur")

CHORUS	We are the mahendo'sat,
What could be simpler than that?
We're big, black and friendly, what more need you know
To deal with the mahendo'sat?

To one of our good friends nice present we give,
But she say our gift threaten the way that she live.
Well of course we know that, but what else could we do
With the stsho and the kif, the tc'a and chi too,
There's the needs of the many, the needs of the few,
And the needs of the mahendo'sat.

CHORUS	We are the mahendo'sat,
What could be simpler than that?
We're big, black and friendly, what more need you know
To deal with the mahendo'sat?

In all of this galaxy every race
Got a form and a function, a task and a place;
The stsho make good traitors, the kif make good thieves,
But we got the hani as ace up our sleeves,
'Cause whatever we tell her, the hani believes,
Which is great for the mahendo'sat.

CHORUS	We are the mahendo'sat,
What could be simpler than that?
We're big, black and friendly, what more need you know
To deal with the mahendo'sat?

The hani hold grudge 'cause we brought them to space;
They as bad as the kif when it comes to their face.
But they great for the purpose that we got in mind,
Though it sad that we got to be cruel to be kind,
For confusion, backstabbing and (pause to count on fingers) quintuple blind
Are the tools of the mahendo'sat.

CHORUS	We are the mahendo'sat,
What could be simpler than that?
We're big, black and friendly, what more need you know
To deal with the mahendo'sat?
