There once was a merc, name of Jayne

From River he thought he could gain

He looked better in red

So he went to the Feds

But she could kill him with her brain

*

Now Jayne Cobb's a fashionable cat

His mother sent him a fine hat

But he holds much dearer

The gun he calls Vera

Now what do you think about that?

*

The Reavers aren't human, take note

They don't shield the cores on their boats

They'll rape, flay, and eat

from your head to your feat

and then wear your skin as a coat

*

The Hands of Blue thought they were slick

But what they would do is just sick

They'd bleed you to death

Before you took two breaths

But the crew brushed them off like a tick
