Jason Segel
Marshall vs. the Machines (From ”How I Met Your Mother: Season 6)
[Intro]
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!
[Verse 1]
Gather 'round ye children
To hear the tale so sweet
Of a man who dared to race machines with nothing but his feet
[Verse 2]
With hair of auburn beauty
A hero dressed in jeans
He's fightin' for america
Marshall versus the machines, ha!
[Bridge]
Doom-ba-da-dee-dee-dee-dee-fleegeedoo-flim-flam-doo-da-deegedeedoo
[Verse 3]
As Marshall ran with all his might and passed his friend Christine (Hey Christine!)
He thought of all the times that he had beaten a machine
He triumphed over pitfall
He vanquished the alarm
He brought the jukebox back to life with his Fonzarelli arm
Marshall vs the machines, ha!
[Bridge]
Ha! Move along!
Ha! Move along!
Ha!
[Verse 4]
Our hero's strength was fading fast
Just as the light turned
Green
He then though back to all the times he'd lost to a machine
The cablebox's fearsome bite, the stapler's mighty sting
The cablebox's bite again
[Outro]
Getting too tired to sing
