Marshall vs. the Machines (from How I Met Your Mother)
I'll show them
My body can outrun any motorized vehicle
I'm like John Henry when he beat the steam engine
All I need is a great folk song
Gather round, ye children
To hear the tale so sweet
Of a man who dared to race machines
With nothing but his feet
With hair of auburn beauty
A hero dressed in jeans
He's fighting for America
Marshall!
Versus the machines
Hah!
Doom-ba-da-dee-dee-dee-dee-fleegeedoo-flim-flam-doo-da-deegedeedoo
As Marshall ran with all his might
And passed his friend, Christine
(Hey, Christine)
He thought of all the times that he had
Beaten the machine:
He triumphed over Pitfall
He vanquished the alarm
He brought the jukebox back to life
With his Fonzarelli arm
Marshall!
Versus the machines (yuh)
Move along!
Yuh
Move along!
Yuh
Our hero's strength was fading fast
Just as the light turned green
He then thought back to all the times
He'd lost to a machine:
The cable box's fearsome bite
The stapler's mighty sting
The cable box's bite again
Getting too tired
To sing
My body can outrun any motorized vehicle
I'm like John Henry when he beat the steam engine
All I need is a great folk song
Gather round, ye children
To hear the tale so sweet
Of a man who dared to race machines
With nothing but his feet
With hair of auburn beauty
A hero dressed in jeans
He's fighting for America
Marshall!
Versus the machines
Hah!
Doom-ba-da-dee-dee-dee-dee-fleegeedoo-flim-flam-doo-da-deegedeedoo
As Marshall ran with all his might
And passed his friend, Christine
(Hey, Christine)
He thought of all the times that he had
Beaten the machine:
He triumphed over Pitfall
He vanquished the alarm
He brought the jukebox back to life
With his Fonzarelli arm
Marshall!
Versus the machines (yuh)
Move along!
Yuh
Move along!
Yuh
Our hero's strength was fading fast
Just as the light turned green
He then thought back to all the times
He'd lost to a machine:
The cable box's fearsome bite
The stapler's mighty sting
The cable box's bite again
Getting too tired
To sing
