[Skinner begins with guitar chords]
[piano, drums, bass and tambourine start after a few cycles]
[whistle leads up to start of singing]
Never was a saintly girl
had to deal with such punkishness
my partner's crazy ideas
You'd think he'd come from space himself
things are getting pretty strange
and he's not really helping things
I just want to deck him now
This is not really this ah this is not really happening
You bet your life it is You bet your life it is
Uh huh you bet your life
DON'T... ditch me a-gain,
just DON'T... ditch me a-gaaaain
I know what's going on
There is a good explanation
scientifically correct
We just gotta find it
enough with this alien crap
You must believe I'm nuts
if you want me to agree with you
This is not really this ah this is not really happening
You bet your life it is You bet your life it is
uh huh you bet your life
DON'T... ditch me a-gain,
just DON'T... ditch me a-gaaain.
Never was Saintly girl
had to deal with such punkishness
[piano bridge]
Mulder... I don't (moviewording)* believe this
Mulder... I don't (moviewording) believe this
Mulder... I don't (moviewording) believe
I don't (moviewording) believe
I don't (moviewording) believe this!
Uh huh uh huh huh
[Guest vocalists] - "And the punk with the pouty eyes
thinks he knows so much, thinks he knows so much yeah"
[Repeat variously while Frohike goes wild on the piano;
Skinner switches to electric guitar, song continues until
the crowd rushes the stage trampling poor Mulder on the way]
Thank you, good night.

in this archive which Mulder was supposed to say in the movie but
didn't. Also referred to as the "not-movieword."
Author's note:
I occasionally visit a happy world where there's no such thing as
Scully torture, GA gets ALL the prizes (including several emmys
Sunday - Best Dramatic Actress, Best Comedic Actress, and best
television song ("Jeremiah was a...") among them), Scully is
ALWAYS right and the worst thing Scully has to put up with
is Mulder's punkishness. The following song mutilation errr
adaptation is in honor of that world, glimpses of which shine
through into this one; and also in honor of other redheads who deserve
the few prizes GA hasn't taken upon herself to be eligible for.
