Star Trek Lyrics

http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/trek1.htm

One of the things people don’t know about Star Trek: TOS is that the Main Theme has lyrics. Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics to Courage’s theme without his permission. Alexander Courage was pissed that he even wrote letters complaining about the underhanded move by Gene. Gene used to do this all the time to writers too during the TOS days.

Here's more info

((Once the Star Trek pilot was sold to NBC , Courage was in an enviable position: he would receive royalties every time an episode of Star Trek was run (or re-run), and even more royalties if the show lasted long enough to be sold into syndication after its network run was finished. Courage's windfall lasted only a year, until Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry suddenly laid claim to half the royalties. How? Pressured by Roddenberry, Courage had made a "handshake deal" a couple of years earlier that gave Roddenberry the option of composing lyrics for Courage's Star Trek music (and Courage signed a contract — unknowingly, he later claimed — to that effect). Roddenberry exercised that option, writing lyrics for the main theme and then asserting his right to half the performance royalties as a co-composer. It made no difference that the lyrics were not intended to be used in the show itself and had not been recorded or released. As the lyricist, Roddenberry was entitled to an equal share of the royalties, whether or not the lyrics were ever used.))

Here are the lyrics

Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.

Trust me, they don’t go with the song, because Gene wasn’t a songwriter and he just wanted the money.
