Firefly Fans (Spawned a Dongma)

By Ying (2002, revised 2003), with apologies to "Michelle" by the Beatles (written by John Lennon/Paul McCartney, 1965)

Fiiire-fly fans
We have to speak Chinese, understand?
You non-fans?

Fiiire-fly fans
Women bixu jiang Zhongwen, dong ma?
Spawned a Dongma

Mal's "ma-shong!" and Zoe's famed "fei-oo"
And Atherton's "bao bay"
Pool-playing slaver's "way!"
We dongmatic'lly use Chinese, don't care who understands

Fiiire-fly fans
Women bixu jiang Zhongwen, dong ma?
Spawned a Dongma

Like Kaylee, say "shuh muh?" and "swai," too
"Sheh-sheh" said constantly
Asked "what's that mean?" are we
Well yes it's true we learned words through a show you've not seen

Chinese used

Our wont is Chinese use, we'll flaunt, too
I think we took a vow
To say things like "ni hao"
And "dong ma?," too, though have no clue just who understands

Fiiire-fly fans
Women bixu jiang Zhongwen, dong ma?
Spawned a Dongma

We dongmatic'lly use Chinese, it's some Whedon Decree
To Ying-mi
