Levi Zendt: A Song For the 1978 TV Miniseries ‘Centennial’ (Parody of Roxanne by Arizona Zervas)

Original by Arizona Zervas & Lauren LaRue

Lyrics:

All for his farm.
People love his farm,
So wait, sit.
Centennial made a name for this man:

Levi Zendt, Levi Zendt.
He married Elly first, later Lucinda.
In the wild west,
Follow Levi Zendt.
Founded Zent’s Farm to feed his family.
He befriended Seccombe.
He befriended Brumbaugh.
He created order, where there was so much chaos.
Levi Zendt, Levi Zendt.
He married Elly first, later Lucinda.

Started out shunned by his family.
A girl lying about rape, tried to ruin him.
He wouldn’t let that put him to a stop.
Had too much motivation to sit & plop.
Found a workaround, and picked Elly up.
Threatned her captors at gunpoint, to give her up.
He bought a wagon, no bells, Colorado bound.
Money from Elly’s sister Laura Lou to get em’ out of town.
A fresh start, so new; fresh start, so new.
Riding horses through rivers, falling in too.
Fresh start, so new, fresh start, so new.
Exploring unchartered territories,
Feelin’ gratitude.

Levi Zendt, Levi Zendt.
He married Elly first, later Lucinda.
In the wild west,
Follow Levi Zendt.
Founded Zent’s Farm to feed his family.
He befriended Seccombe.
He befriended Brumbaugh.
He created order, where there was so much chaos.
Levi Zendt, Levi Zendt.
He married Elly first, later Lucinda.

In the new world, he won!
Aired in 78’, yea, multiple takes for it.
Many amazing actors got together & created history together!
Major Maxwell Mercy, changin’ internal affairs.
Thanks to James A Michener, for the book series.
If you love old school, Centennial rules.
Get wild with the Pasquinel brothers or Clay Basket cool.
Hittin’ up the telegram, always to St. Louis.
With Lucinda’s love, Levi keeps behavin’.
Fresh start, so new; fresh start, so new.
Running a general store,
Strengthening Centennial’s roots.
Fresh start, so new; fresh start, so new.
Exploring unchartered territories,
Feelin’ gratitude.

Levi Zendt, Levi Zendt.
He married Elly first, later Lucinda.
In the wild west,
Follow Levi Zendt.
Founded Zent’s Farm to feed his family.
He befriended Seccombe.
He befriended Brumbaugh.
He created order, where there was so much chaos.
Levi Zendt, Levi Zendt.
He married Elly first, later Lucinda.
