Half-past 10 and I'm watching the scanners,
Stuck in Ops all alone,
How I hate to spend the evening in the dome.
Boredom strikes, and my mind starts to wander,
As I stare about the room,
'Cos I think I'd get more sex on Zha'hadum.

Someone please hear my prayer,
Is Marcus Cole out there?

Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee a ranger at midnight,
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away.
Gimmee, gimmee Marcus in leather that's skintight,
Help me through the darkness to the break of the day.

(Spoken: Gee, Ivanova - Mr Ranger's gonna be real mad with us...)

Movie stars can't compare to a ranger,
With a stick in a fight,
And I know where I would rather spend the night.
There's a ship coming out of the jump-gate,
On my face there is a grin,
'Cos it looks like it's the White Star, and it's HIM!

Someone has heard my prayer,
It's Marcus Cole out there!

Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee a ranger at midnight,
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away.
Gimmee, gimmee Marcus in leather that's skintight,
Help me through the darkness to the break of the day.

(Segue to "B5 theme" and then back to song)

Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee a ranger at midnight...
Oooooooh, oh, hmmmmmmmmmm,
Gimmee, gimmee Marcus in leather that's skintight,
Oh, oh, oh, OH! OH! YES!!!!!

(Spoken - lasciviously: "Babylon 5 to White Star. Ready for docking maneuvers whenever you are...")

The last chorus should be grunted and panted in a "When Harry Met Sally" sort of a way... I love this song. Now all I need is Jason Carter to re-enact it for real. But Anne Whitaker would duel to the death for the honour :-)
