River Said That They Took Away Jayne's Christmas

River Said That They Took Away Jayne's Christmas

By Ying (2002), with apologies to "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" by Perry Como & The Fontaine Sisters (written by Meredith Willson, 1951)

River said that they took away Jayne's Christmas
Traitor, did she know?
He had helped the Feds Tambush them
Here come two creepy men
With blue gloves donned and eerie wands aglow

Early snuck on the ship and ref'renced Christmas
"Chimney" and some more
He had wanted River, you see
She "became" Serenity
Leading subtle war

CHORUS:
Oh, Jayne's a very big brute and he wanted the loot
Led the Tams to Alliance's men
Early's quite shocked, he was sent on a walk
Though the black by Mal for his friend
Oh, Early may now be "the late"
And Jayne may make amends

Mal just woke up and asked if it was Christmas
Saffron-induced doze
He'd risked a life in the Special Hell
Somehow Inara fell
But Vera shined and stopped the crime of foes

The allusions in Firefly to Christmas
Seem to play a part
In the things that the writers bring
To keep characters as king
And the writing smart

INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS:
Oh, Jayne's a very big brute and he wanted the loot
Led the Tams to Alliance's men
Early's quite shocked, he was sent on a walk
Though the black by Mal for his friend
Oh, Early may now be "the late"
And Jayne may make amends

The allusions in Firefly to Christmas
Seem to play a part
In the things that the writers bring
To keep characters as king
And the writing smart
