Lyrics: Chris Harris/Craig Thomas/Carter Bays
Music: Chris Harris/Craig Thomas/Carter Bays
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
Yah
Move along
Yah
Move along
Yah
Our hero's strength was fading fast
Just as the light turnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnned 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
