As requested, here are the lyrics to the song I performed at Whedonesque Burlesque 2012:
The Whedonverse
(to the tune of Billy Joel's The Piano Man)
It's eight o'clock on a
Tuesday
The popcorn is read to go
There's my girlfriend sitting
next to me
We’re watchin’ our favourite
show
She says, "Buffy will
outsmart this Prophecy
‘Cause to kill her would just
go too far
And her hair is a mess, but I
still love her dress
Ooo, I hope someone knows
CPR."
La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Chorus:
Welcome, you guys, to the
Whedonverse
Welcome and have some pie
Well we're all in the thrall
of this Writer Man
Who reminds us we’re all gonna
die
Now Wash here, he pilots the
Firefly
He’s a funny man and he’s my
friend
And he's quick with a jest,
but a pole to the chest
Sort of pinned down this Leaf
on the Wind
And Fred in the lab, she’s a
scientist
She outsmarts us all on her
worst day
But the world has a hole and a
god ate her soul
And she doesn’t know why she
can’t stay
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
And though we often beat the
Apocolypse
We can’t help you when someone
just dies
And there’s nothing to hold
when The Body’s gone cold
Joyce is gone now, so please
close her eyes
Chorus:
Come on you guys it’s the
Whedonverse
Come on, you knew you might
cry
‘Cause we're all in the thrall
of this Writer Man
Who reminds us we’re all gonna
die
BRIDGE (Matrix-style piano
rotation)
Now Topher’s a genius computer
geek
Who blows up to save you and
me.
He’s remembering Penny, whose
virtues were many
Who got cut down by flying
debris
As a slayer our Buffy’s
unusual
And she never would listen to
Giles
Because death is her gift, she
jumped into the rift
To forget about life for a
while
And if it helps the Avengers
assemble
I’ll kill off an Agent or
three
And I might’ve killed Dan,
when I wrote for Roseanne
And there’s no one here who
can stop me
Oh, lie die die, die die die
Die die, die die die, Die DIE
Chorus:
Good bye to all from the
WhedonVerse
Goodbye y’all, here’s why
‘Cause the old gods did not
get their sacrifice
So I’m afraid that you all
have to die
