Zappa Zapped!
Buck and Billy got Jonathon to jail
Harriet's quick action had left him pale
Now 3Gun watched from the saloon door
As Rue moved Sister Grace, and kids from the top floor
When they were safe, the women spread out
'Surround the place! We'll go when I shout.'
Myna gave Mrs. Heckler a nod, and took out her knives
She was proud, and grateful to these women,
All risking their lives
Lotta took one side, double barrels both cocked
At the back, Harriet and CG forced a door that was locked
Petra and Bella, along with Gyn,
Took up positions by windows they planned to kick in
And it all happened when they heard Myna's shout
Inside, Uno Zappa fell from his chair
Splintering wood and breaking glass showered his hair
The other three men jerked about in confusion
Bumping into one another as they met the intrusion
Long dresses and crinolines, work pants and boots
Amidst frying pans, broomsticks, gunfire and hoots
From his place on the floor, Lorne looked aghast
His loving wife, Myna, enjoying reliving her past
With Zappa subdued by aprons in knots
The women marched their prisoners to the jailhouse cots
3Gun left the saloon, taking a chance
Relieved Zappa from Myna's grip on the seat of his pants
He gave her a wink for a job well done
Then left the Orders alone in the setting sun
They embraced in the sunset, now free from harm
And strolled to the cafe, close together, arm in arm
