PBS aired the Downton Abbey series finale stateside Sunday night, and though it tied up loose ends regarding the future of its many characters, it left one area forever unattended -- its theme song.

Thankfully, Jimmy Kimmel recruited John Legend to pen a few fitting lyrics for the haunting tune, which he debuted on Tuesday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live! episode.

While some of the lines are purely narrative -- such as "Mary and Edith love to fight / we dress in formal wear for dinner almost every night" and "We have a footman who is gay / he's always carrying a tray" -- some go one step further to comment on the period drama.

For example, "Everyone we know is very white / we don't have one black friend," sang Legend.

Plus, right next to a giant picture of Maggie Smith, Legend sang of her beloved character, the Dowager Countess, "Grandmamma is always such a witch / she needs to get laid."
