:)Hi Segheads!
Just couldn't resist one more stab at a Segway Song. This one is sung to the tune of the classic "American Pie" by Don McClean - with apologies to him.I think the melody just fits in with what we here in The U.K. feel about the Segways not be legal yet -Anywhere!
Anyway I hope you will have a chuckle and of course comments please...
A long, long time ago...
I remember a Segway
at that Disneyland ride,
So I saved up all my cash
and with Mr Visa felt really rash
Placed my order, and prepared to glide...
But I heard they’d been delays
to the U.K. from the U.S.A.
I’d arranged a charity show
Was my Segway a no-go?
I remember, I almost cried
When I opened up the package wide,
I looked upon starry – eyed,
the day,
My Segway,
Arrived…
I started thinking:
I’m high, high on my segway so high
set my key to go faster
and then I’ll just fly
I’ll turn those heads, and make most people sigh
saying’ do you want to give it a try?
Do you want to give it a try?
I cruised around everywhere,
pavements, grass and highways fair,
gliding fast and gliding slow
I lent forward with my sole,
veered left to miss a pole,
clipped a tree and spun me off, Oh NO!
Well, I’m just glad I wore a hat
For at 12.5 your brains still splat!
I just forced a Segway smile…
Jumped back on for another mile.
And as I was speeding through the trees
I felt relaxed and bent my knees,
I was feeling very pleased
The day,
My Segway
Arrived.
I started singin’,
Fly-fly, on my Segway Oh My!
Am I dreaming?
I am gleaming
In the sunlight so high
I’m floating on air
Feeling speedy and spry
Thinking, to my car I’m waving bye-bye
Yes-I’m gonna wave bye-bye
Eight hours today – so I sped home
Hadn’t realised how time had flown
I knew I’d missed the kids and wife…
I glided back through pastures green
I got home, I still was keen
I shouted, I’ve finally, “got a life”!
I was up next day and gliding round
when a policeman stopped me with a frown
”You can’t use that round here
Do I make myself clear!
It’s not allowed on roads or parks
and let’s have none of your remarks
And don’t try riding in the dark”
No sir
I won’t
I lied….
My heart was sinking!!!
I’m mad, sad, and I let out a sigh
I’ll be musing
No more cruising
‘cause of government ties
to get my fix, to be a dealer I’d try.
So I won’t let the Segway die
No, I won’t let the Segway die…."
So I logged on to the only place,
Segway chat in cyber-space
to be amongst my Segway friends…
I read those threads pretty quick
And the info gained, seemed to stick
and now I’m gliding once again…
Oh, I’ll campaign now and legalise
Those Segways in the British Isles.
I’ll write my MP and tell
Yeah ,I’m gonna give ‘em hell.
I’ll be printing out petitions, all through the night
For the Segway cause I’ll fight and fight!,
We’ll all be laughing with delight
The day
the Segway
survived.
I started singin’,
Fly-fly, on my Segway Oh My!
Am I dreaming?
I am gleaming
In the sunlight so high
I’m floating on air
Feeling speedy and spry
Thinking, to my car I’m waving bye-bye
Yes-I’m gonna wave bye-bye
6 months later we’re in the news
just gotta love lean-steer i2’s,
with many people smiling true.
And as we start the Segway tour
From street to coast and roads to moor,
We’re no longer feeling blue…
And as we rode, the children beamed
wanting to try these “green” machines.
No fumes-you won’t be chokin’
Eight cents a charge-you must be joking!
Eco friendy,let’s all rejoice
And for segways you have a choice
Get on over and hear my voice
All day
On my Segway
With pride
Everyone was cheering,
Just Glide,Glide on our Segways and ride
set our keys to go faster
and then we’ll just fly.
We’ll all be waving to the passers-by,
saying,Come’on’ just give it a try
Yes come ‘on and give it a try
Everyone was cheering,

and then we’ll just fly.
