The Electric Scooter Blues

I used to ride my 'lectric scooter
I used to ride it fast
I used to love my 'lectric scooter
But that's all in the past
Until one tragic day
The front wheel, it gave way
To a small crack in the ground
Leaving a bloody mound
Crash down on the street
Bone and concrete meet
Skidded on my face
My arms and legs displaced

Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, that's gonna leave a bruise
Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, I'm full of plates and screws
Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, you don't wanna be in my shoes
Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, got the 'lectric scooter blues

I used to ride my 'lectric scooter
I used to ride it fast
I used to love my 'lectric scooter
But that's all in the past
Then one painful day
Much to my dismay
I crash and brake three bones
Oh the sickly moans
30k's downhill
Nearly got me killed
Stuffed my DNA
Straight off to sickbay

Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, that's gonna leave a bruise
Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, I'm full of plates and screws
Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, you don't wanna be in my shoes
Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, got the 'lectric scooter blues

I rode my scooter fast
And then my scooter stopped
But I kept going

That damn electric scooter nearly got me neutered
That's no way to go for an innocent commuter
I'd rather eat at Hooters than fall off my scooter, I say
I'd rather eat at Hooters than fall off my scooter

Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, that's gonna leave a bruise
Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, I'm full of plates and screws
Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, you don't wanna be in my shoes
Oh, what a scooter blooper baby, got the 'lectric scooter blues
I got the 'lectric scooter blues
I'm done with it, I'm through
You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna throw it in the lake; throw it in the lake
To join its other mates, shopping trolleys and dead bodies
It's going in the lake
Gonna throw it in the lake; throw it in the lake
Yeah, that's what I'm wishing, to throw my 'lectric scooter
Into Lake Burley Griffin
Gonna throw it in the lake; throw it in the lake
It's going express freight, to join its scooter mates
Rotting in the lake
Gonna throw it in the lake; throw it in the lake
New happy times await; cause earlier today
I bought a new Segway
