Seeley don't be a Hero sung to Billy, don't be a hero by Paper Lace

Disclaimer: I don't Temperance, Seeley or Bones; neither do I own the original lyrics. The filkage, however, I take the blame for. :D


The boarding call it sounded out so loud

Temperance stood, she turned around

I looked across and there I saw Seeley

In Ranger greys to Temp he came

And with his hand a reaching for her

His friend and his partner oh so true

From where I stood, I thought she was sighing'

And in muffled words I heard her say

"Seeley, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"

"Seeley, don't be a hero, come back and stay in my life"

And as Seeley started to go, Temp said "Keep your pretty head lo-o-ow"

"Seeley, don't be a hero, come back to me"

The Ranger greys were trapped on a hillside

Afgan insurgents all around

And Seeley cried "You've got to hang on, boys"

"You've got to hold this piece a'ground"

"Cover me; I'll take out their leader"

"Break their will and end this fight"

And Seeley carefully he was aiming

Forgettin' all the words she said

She said

"Seeley, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"

"Seeley, don't be a hero, come back and stay in my life"

And as Seeley started to go, Temp said "Keep your pretty head lo-o-ow"

"Seeley, don't be a hero, come back to me"

I heard Temperance, she got a letter

That told how Seeley died that day

The letter said that he was a hero

She should be proud he died that way

I heard she threw that letter away
