"The Xena Saga"
(Based on "American Pie" by Don McLean)

A long long time ago

In a far-off land that

Gods and Kings and Warlords held

A mighty Warrior Princess arose

And saved the people from their woes

With the help of golden Gabrielle

But one last time the Fates are cruel

And since Xena's their favorite tool

To Higuchi they had to go

Though why Japan I'll never know

And though they stayed the closest friends

Saved each other time and again

It seems neither of them could mend

The way the saga ends

So...

CHORUS:

My, my, Xena finally died

Got her head chopped off by some samurai guy

Gabby could've saved her but she wouldn't let her try

Sayin' this way my soul can fly high

This way my soul can fly high

When Gab was held by Morpheus

And then she woke the Titans up

Do you think Xena wanted to leave?

And what about that psychotic blonde?

Or when Gab became an Amazon?

And who can forget the King of Thieves?

We found out Xena had a kid

And got reminded of bad things she did

Caesar had her crucified

And then the first time she died

Oh, Callisto came back as semi-divine

Cecrops finally got out of his bind

And Mel and Janice made a find

Before the saga's end

When we'll be singin'

CHORUS:

My, my, Xena finally died

Got her head chopped off by some samurai guy

Gabby could've saved her but she wouldn't let her try

Sayin' this way my soul can fly high

This way my soul can fly high

Remember when Ares drove Xena mad

And we all thought he might be her dad?

But, now we're not so sure

Or when Gab gave birth to a girl child

Lied to Xena and drove us wild

And then ended up poisoning her?

Oh, and Xena went to Chin

To settle a debt with Ming T'ien

Meg appeared for the first time

She loved Joxer and his rhymes

Then Hope came back with Callisto's help

To rule the world with Ares' whelp

But Gab stopped her by sacrificing herself

Before the saga's end

When we'll be singin'

CHORUS:

My, my, Xena finally died

Got her head chopped off by some samurai guy

Gabby could've saved her but she wouldn't let her try

Sayin' this way my soul can fly high

This way my soul can fly high

Ewokazons and Alti's plan

Xena's trek through haunted lands

Searching for Gabrielle

Found Hope instead at her home

And the evil bitch wasn't there alone

She'd given birth to a thing from Hell

Now the Devi thought he was a fake

But Xena showed him his mistake

Najara said she'd changed

But the woman was still deranged

Caesar returned to avenge his loss

By nailing our girls to a cross

While Brutus killed his one-time boss

Before the saga's end

When we'll be singin'

CHORUS:

My, my, Xena finally died

Got her head chopped off by some samurai guy

Gabby could've saved her but she wouldn't let her try

Sayin' this way my soul can fly high

This way my soul can fly high

Our heroes went to Heaven and Hell

Where Xena tempted Gabrielle

Before Eli resurrected them

Xe got a new chakram that's rather odd

Then our two girls shared one bod

Before Xena learned of her little problem

Alti came back and tried to steal

Xe's child's place on the eternal wheel

When the babe was finally born

Eve earned the Olympians' scorn

And while Xena and Gab struggled with the Gods

Ares sought to increase their odds

By sealing them in frozen pods

Before the saga's end

When he'll be singin'

CHORUS:

My, my, Xena finally died

Got her head chopped off by some samurai guy

Gabby could've saved her but she wouldn't let her try

Sayin' this way my soul can fly high

This way my soul can fly high

They met a God who reigned in Hell

And Xena smiled as Luci fell

Taking her place

Seems Xena used to be a Valkyrie

And caused the Rhine Maidens misery

But returned Grinhilda to a state of grace

Varia became leader of the Amazons

But she betrayed Gabby at Helicon

And when Xena met Borias' heir

They finally cleared the air

Then Akemi sent for the Warrior Princess

To return to Higuchi and avenge the deaths

Of all the souls Yodoshi possessed

At the saga's end

And she was singin'

CHORUS:

My, my, Xena finally died

Got her head chopped off by some samurai guy

Gabby could've saved her but she wouldn't let her try

Sayin' this way my soul can fly high

This way my soul can fly high

My, my, Xena finally died

Got her head chopped off by some samurai guy

Gabby could've saved her but she wouldn't let her try

Sayin' this way my soul can fly high

A very sincere 'Thank You' for all the great memories "Xena: Warrior Princess" has given me. ~
