The Ballad of Firefly

By: Lux Lucre
(to the tune of "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle From Television Theme Song" as performed by Sherwood Schwartz and G. Wyle)



Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this core world port
Aboard this shiny ship

The mate was a mighty fightin' gal
The Captain brave, but corse
Ten passengers and crew set out
to the planet of Boros, the planet of Boros

The journey started getting rough
with reavers and a fed
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
They'd be among the dead, They'd be among the dead

The ship's on the run from federals in
Uncharted barren space
With Malcolm R, The first mate, Zoe
Kaylee and Wash, Jayne and Book. 
Inara and
with Simon and River Tam
Here on Firefly

So this is the tale of our brave outlaws
They'll run for a long, long time
They'll have to make the best of things
It's an uphill climb

Capt. Malcolm and his shiny crew
Will do their very best
To make the others comfortable
In their creaky spaceship's nest

No shiny parts, no good fresh food 
Not a single frippery
But they can live on packaged foods
with lots of rosemary. 

So join us here each week, my friends
You're sure to get a smile
From nine outlaws that make their way
Here on Firefly
