Ballad of Orange and Green

The Ballad of Orange and Green was a bawdy song about the offspring of an Altasa and a Vulcan.

One of the choruses contained the following lyrics:


 * Oh, I was the strangest kiddie
 * That you have ever seen:
 * My mother, she was orange
 * And my father he was green...

Other lyrics were:


 * Now my mother hated greenery,
 * my father hated meat;
 * and neither one would feed me
 * what the other one would eat-

In the year 2275, aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), the ballad was sung in the recreation deck by a group of about thirty of the crew.
