There's also a 'Filk' version floating about (I can't remember the author) with verses like:
Morbius and Alterra were living all alone, With half a world of generators just to power their home. But when she loved a sailor (as the nice girls often do) Daddy pushed a button, and the whole kaboodle blew.
Gandalf was a light-show man to make your parties swing. He hung around the night clubs where the elven groupies sing. A rumble in a cellar bar gave him such a fright He got born again from Manway, and changed his robe to white.
Chorus: Filk fen*, fake fen, neo-fen and all Come to our convention and have yourselves a ball. Check your swords and dungeon-plans and phasers at the door And we'll sing you science fiction songs you've never heard brfore
