The following song is based on a song based on a http://www.echoschildren.org/CDlyrics/ANNIE.HTML”>Babylon 5 roleplaying character. This song tells the story of a Firefly episode, perhaps in season 3…
EDIT: A couple lines changed to reflect the point of view of the singer.
Chorus
Bridget loves her freedom, Yolanda treasure chests
And Saffron loves that smuggler man she never quite can best
And if the Feds can catch her, it’s prison or the Guild
‘stead of the Black’s expanses she’ll look out on her windowsill
She’d tried to con us several times, each time we got away
But there was something different, when we met her today
She didn’t come a’scheming, she didn’t ply her trade

The Fed turns over Saffron to the Companion’s care

Chorus
Now unveils the Companion, and before us ‘Nara stands
And softly speaks to Saffron, as they try to understand
“I’ll tell them you escaped me,” her voice in my head rings
“After what they did to me, I don’t owe the Guild a thing”
Chorus
The Guild Council is furious, and likewise are the feds
For Saffron’s in no training house, but with our ship has fled
Jayne calls her a Po-fu, Simon’s like to start a row
But there ain’t nothing to be done, she’s our Po-fu now
Clarissa loves her freedom, that’s what she’s made her name
