Gotta say goodbye

To the best damn pilot we all knew

The comic wit, the human face

Of Mal's gorram motley crew

Saved them from the reavers

Time and time and time again

Made them laugh and made them sigh

Right up until the end

And you kept them safe, and you flew them in

Like a leaf upon the wind

Never witnessed flying like it

Never will again

And we wish Joss hadn't killed you

But that's just what he does

No-one's unexpendable

When the J-man does his stuff

Piloting was sweet

Sweetest deal you ever knew

Except perhaps for Zoe

So deep, deep in love with you

And now suddenly you're gone

And all we can do is grieve

We'll miss you in the next two films

'less Joss has magic up his sleeve

And you kept them safe, and you flew them in

Like a leaf upon the wind

Never witnessed flying like it

Never will again

And we wish Joss hadn't killed you

But that's just what he does

No-one's unexpendable

When the J-man does his stuff

No-one's unexpendable

When the J-man does his stuff
