THE ZIONS Love at home, Love at home, Time doth softly sweetly glide When there's love at home… ZESLIE My family, I love them, And I'm happy, I am, I am, But I'm also last of all. Will no one liste-en? I'm the eldest and The mediator. So please understand That lately "later" Is something I'd call A little missi-in'. First name Zeslie, Last name Zion, I'm a recipe for social disaster. AL More like NATURAL disaster. ZESLIE Despite being lastly, I keep on tryin', When you're a triple Z, You couldn't be laster. AL Zeslie's important, Who knows how a snore went Without all the Zs in her name? Gonna remind you, so you don't forget. She's at the end of the alphabet. ZESLIE I have a clear right to being upset I'm the end of the alphabet.

DAD Hmmmmmmmm-- MOM --mmmmmmmm-- MOM and DAD We'll think about it. ZESLIE But what if it takes you 365 days to think about it? MOM and DAD Then it takes 365 days. But we WILL be thinking about it. ZESLIE But we do things fairly in our family-- how can that possibly be fair? When you ask ME to make a decision, you expect me to make it quickly, don't you? MOM and DAD Sometimes the right decision is not to make a decision yet. ZESLIE Why are you guys talking like that? MOM and DAD Parentaaaal instiiiinctt!-- ZESLIE ... Parental instinct? It stinks to be stuck in the background-- Going backwards-- I'm cursed. But if I were a parent, It'd be so apparent, That I'd put them first… 'Cause I would be first...! I'd make each right decision, I'd teach the proper path to go, I'd give them TRULY fair provision, We'd all grow, if they'd follow. No more yelling, no more ignoring, And just like me, we'd all soar I know how things could be If they'd just listen to me… AL Zes-a-lieeeee-- ZESLIE Al, I'm not in the mood. AL The Zs must stand for zero. That's all the credit you receive. But could the Z stand for Zzzzuperhero? Oh man… I believe! BUT would you kick all of our butts with your big head I'm a butthead, but, you'd butt heads instead? Or WOULD YOU JUST YELL IN MY EAR 'STEAD-A KICKIN' MY REAR— ZESLIE Al. AL Supersonic nagging powers! ZESLIE Al. AL 'Scuuuuuse me? You'll have to say that louder, sis! ZESLIE AL!--

ZESLIE First name Zeslie, Last name Zion, Think I'm finding I've grown more than I thought. I might be lastly, I'll keep on tryin'. They all will mind ME Now I can't be forgot. I'm starting to think I'm more than mere human. Think I'm fin'lly… a young woman.

ZESLIE I'd make each right decision… BAIT You'd teach the proper path to go, ZESLIE And give them TRULY fair provision, BAIT We'd all grow… ZESLIE If they'd… follow.
5.
ZESLIE Oh, no… what have I done? The right choice isn't right Unless you could choose the wrong one. Making all the choices Stifles all the voices. I can't make it for them. Might as well ignore them. I can't make them see things. I can't make them say things. I can't make them be things. Though I might not like the way things are… XACK NARRATION We're better off making our own err-arrrrs!

Finale 01:14
NEPHI SOOOOOOOOOO— Zeslie Zilpha Zion became A (p)sychic spiritual superhero. Her Zs flipped round to Ss. AL That’s lame! XACK Well, shows how much you know. She went on to be on the JPO There’s no more car crashes ‘Cause stop and go Is a thing that she says very well. FAITH and TEACHER … With her mind! EVERYONE but BAIT And no one is left behind! ZESLIE And our fam-i-ly life’s Still a hassle, but I’ve Figured out that we learn When everybody discerns For themselves MOM What is “right”-- DAD What is “wrong”-- ZESLIE THAT’S what makes all of us strong... BAIT (indecipherable) ZESLIE … In-case you’re wondering, he said—(drops Bait) EVERYONE but BAIT AND THAT’S THE END OF OUR SOONNNNG!
