Putting the pilot episode first instead of last as aired allowed for some rhyming with the original song in hours one through four.

The Twelve Hours of Firefly (Surprises)

By Ying (2002), with apologies to "The Twelve Days of Christmas", Traditional

Food supplements
And the strawberry face of Kaylee
