 Gene Roddenberry wrote the lyrics to the original series theme, about a year after the show aired. I have found Tenacious D's YouTube video of the them sung. The lyrics Gene wrote are:

""Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever
.But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.""

 Tenacious has changed a coupe minor words, but you get the idea.

Star Trek + Tenacious D = Awesome!!! 

JB & KG putting Gene's never used (and royalty receiving) lyrics to the classic theme is a perfect addition to today's 50th anniversary celebration.  

Here is a video of that performance as well (opening with the Beatles "Blackbird" with Tenacious D's "Rocketsauce" lyrics)
It's a grainy VHS transfer, but fun nevertheless.
