Watch John Legend Sing Lyrics to 'Downton Abbey' Theme Song
"Downton Abbey" came to an end, with much fanfare, Sunday night in the U.S. after airing its series finale. "Jimmy Kimmel Live" marked the occasion by enlisting John Legend to sing lyrics to the British drama's piano theme song.
Legend poked fun at the show, particularly its #DowntonSoWhite-ness. "Everyone we know is very white," he sang. "We don't have one black friend." (Well, there was that one band leader that romanced Lady Rose, but he disappeared in a hurry.)
The tune also referenced Mary and Edith's ongoing feud, the Dowager Countess's sharp observations, and Thomas's sexuality: "We have a footman who is gay / He's always carrying a tray." And of course, Legend cast shade at Lady Edith, because #PoorEdith.
There is talk of a "Downton Abbey" movie, so perhaps we haven't seen the last of dinner formalwear, hats, scones, and smack talk.
