Reavers, Malcolm, Reavers (Lyrics)

lyrics by Jared Billeaud and Marc Gunn, music traditional, parody of “Leave Her, Johnny, Leave Her”

Performed by Marc Gunn
From CD: Sci Fi Drinking Songs

I thought I heard Jayne Cobb say
Reavers Malcolm, Reavers
We've got to get going ‘fore they come our way
And we're running from the Reavers

* Reavers, Malcolm, Reavers
Oh Reavers Malcolm Reavers
For we're sailing fast with the firefly aglow
and we're running from the reavers

Lead us Malcom, lead us with that grin
Reaver's Malcolm, Reavers
There's many a worse spot that we've been in
Except while running from the reavers

River knocked out Jayne, that'll never get old
Reavers Malcolm, Reavers
She's like a weapon that is out of control
For Miranda and the Reavers

Are you sure you wanna go near Reaver space?
Reavers, Malcolm, Reavers
Where does it get fun to cut up your face?
Now we're running from the Reavers

They all lay down and fell dead asleep
Reavers Malcolm, Reavers
I wonder if they dream of homicidal sheep?
‘Cause the rest turned into Reavers

Wash is an ace, he's a leaf on the wind
Reaver's Malcolm, reavers
And though he was great, whedon did him in
While we all ran away from reavers
