Ballad of Joss Lyrics by Bedlam Bards

On the Drift

0

Joss, the man they call Joss . .
CHORUS:
He wrote about spaceships and shepherds and whores
Stood up to the networks and gave 'em what for
Fox cancelled his program, but that was their loss--
The creator of Firefly, the man they call Joss!
Joss saw the viewers' hearts breakin'
He heard the Browncoats' lament
He saw Fox management takin'
His show in a way that made no sense
(He said) "You can't do that to my program
Can't grind it under your heel."
So he took all his cast, and now at last
They've landed a Big Damn Movie deal!
CHORUS
Now, here is what separates Firefly
From other shows you're likely to see:
It's meaningful and witty, and the setting's really gritty
And the theme song's about Serenity
It's a little like a western, (hyah!)
And a little like X-Files
It's better than Trek, and it's funnier than Shrek
And it beats out Andromeda by miles!
CHORUS
FIDDLE AND BLUES GUITAR BREAK
Now here is what separates Whedon
From writers who slave in the core:
The man they call Joss, well, he said to Fox
"I'm going where no show has gone before."
He told us about reavers
He told us about sin
He took us to the black, and we ain't comin' back
'till all those crazy Browncoats rise again!
CHORUS
