Up Revolution

Lyrics: Kathryn A
Tune: Waltzing Matilda
Subject: How Blake met Cally - more or less...

Once there was a Rebel, camped in the desert
Under the shade of a nasty-looking tree
And he sang as he watched and waited for a Contact
"You'll come support Revolution with me
Up Revolution! Down Federation!
You'll come support Revolution with me."
And he sang as he watched and waited for a Contact
"You'll come support Revolution with me!"

Down came the Contact, to check out the surroundings
Up jumped the Rebel and grabbed her with glee
And he sang in surprise as she fought him to a standstill,
"Won't you foment Revolution with me?
Up Revolution! Down Federation!
Won't you foment Revolution with me?"
And he sang in surprise as she fought him to a standstill,
"Won't you foment Revolution with me?"

They stared at each other, breathless and dishevelled
"You're not a Rebel - they're dead!" said she,
"They all fell ill and only I survived it;
No-one will start Revolution with me.
Up Revolution! Down Federation!
No-one will start Revolution with me.
They all fell ill and only I survived it;
No-one will start Revolution with me."

"You're wrong," said he, "I come from another world."
"Not at the Spaceport - I checked," said she.
"Well, I'd hardly be using a Federation Spaceport!
Won't you foment Revolution with me?
Up Revolution! Down Federation!
You'll come support Revolution with me?
I'd hardly be using a Federation Spaceport!
You'll come support Revolution with me."

So they went to blow up th' Communications Complex
Passing the guards so carefully.
"Better be going - reactor's set on overload.
You'll come support Revolution with me.
Up Revolution! Down Federation!
You'll come support Revolution with me.
Better be going - reactor's set on overload.
You'll come support Revolution with me."

Down came th' Commander, leaving his Pursuit ship,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three.
"Surrender, surrender, we have you surrounded
You'll come support Federation with me.
Up Federation! Down Revolution!
You'll come support Federation with me.
Surrender, surrender, we have you surrounded
You'll come support Federation with me!"

Up jumped the Rebel and called for the teleport
"You'll never catch us alive!" said he.
And his voice may be heard if you listen to the airwaves
"You'll come support Revolution with me.
Up Revolution! Down Federation!
You'll come support Revolution with me."
And his voice may be heard if you listen to the airwaves
"You'll come support Revolution with me!"
