Ballad of Firefly

[Beck]

This was posted on Buffyworld ages ago, and I loved it so I want to share it with you...


The Ballad of “Firefly”
(to the tune of “The Ballad of Serenity” by Joss Whedon)
(new lyrics by cabriges and Shmuel)


Brand new show, worth a glance
Thought I’d give this one a chance
Kaylee’s smile made me squee
You can’t take my show from me.

Pilots, thugs, crazy girl
Browncoats fighting for their world.
Western sci-fi fantasy
You can’t take my show from me.

Nothing left on TV since you took Serenity
But you can’t take my show from me.

Captain Mal, Shepherd Book
Both have ethics, one’s a crook
The other one’s a mystery
You can’t take my show from me.

Simon Tam, he’s got meds
Saved his sister from the feds
Now he fights to keep them free
You can’t take my show from me.

Nothing left on TV since you took Serenity
But you can’t take my show from me.

Zoe fights fierce by gosh
The question’s why she married Wash.
He knows all the steps, you see
You can’t take my show from me.

You want tough, you need Jayne
He can catch a moving train
Just don’t trust his loyalty
You can’t take my show from me.

Nothing left on TV since you took Serenity
But you can’t take my show from me.

Then the crew found firsthand
Against one thing they could not stand
Network folks’ stupidity
You can’t take my show from me.

Went to watch thugs and whores
All I found was high school scores
Pre-empted to a sad degree
You can’t take my show from me.

Nothing left on TV since you took Serenity
But you can’t take my show from me.

Take our slot, take our cast
Run them all mixed-up, half-assed
I don't care, there's DVD
You can't take my show from me.

Put the shows on the shelf
I’ll write some fanfic for myself.
It’s my gorram reality
You can’t take my show from me.

Nothing left on TV since you took Serenity
But you can’t take my show from me.

Went online, found a war
This is what they’re fighting for
Browncoats everywhere agree
You can’t take my show from me.

Bought the shows, spread the word
Big damn movie deal’s assured
Now we want a trilogy
You can’t take my show from me.

Nothing left on TV since you took Serenity
But you can’t take my show from me.


So what do you all think?

[Loz]

Brilliant.

Especially:
Take our slot, take our cast
Run them all mixed-up, half-assed
I don't care, there's DVD
You can't take my show from me.

LOL.

Those are great, but this is the best :
Bought the shows, spread the word
Big damn movie deal’s assured
Now we want a trilogy
You can’t take my show from me.

We want the gorram TV show back! (Plus the trilogy)

[Deleted]

That's bloody brilliant!!

I agree, Bre. I loved that section, too.

And also...
Went online, found a war
This is what they’re fighting for
Browncoats everywhere agree
You can’t take my show from me.

That is awesome. We need somebody to record themselves singing it.

[Lizzie]

Very cool! Made me miss Firefly/Serenity all over again....

[Forsaken]

Absolutly True. Every word
