The Copper War |
Verdigris Patina was a peaceful little town |
The home of Wilbur Redpot, finest coppersmith around |
He was famous for his products, as they sold extremely well |
Competitors were livid as their business income fell |
Now, Alexander Copperplate, a man from out of town |
Declared his gang was coming soon to shoot poor Wilbur down |
The town was in a panic, they knew something should be done |
And they had till morning sun! |
So saddle up your steam-bike and put your goggles on |
We’ve got to be prepared or else we’ll all be dead by dawn |
Copperplate is coming, and his eyes are seeing red |
And he’s after Wilbur’s head! |
The townsfolk got together and they figured out a plan |
They knew they’d have to do their best to save their fellow man |
And, though they had no weapons, they all had a lot of brains: |
They’d build machines to leave their villain in a world of pain! |
So Wilbur brought the copper, old Frank supplied the steel; |
Bob and Sue had extra chains, and Tommy brought the wheels; |
They knew they’d have a chance with these, they knew they’d win the fight |
And they worked all through the night! |
So saddle up your steam-bike and put your goggles on |
We’ve got to be prepared or else we’ll all be dead by dawn |
Copperplate is coming and his eyes are seeing red |
And he’s after Wilbur’s head! |
Well Copperplate arrived at dawn, he stayed true to his word |
But the town was deathly silent, not a soul was to be heard |
He yelled out, «Redpot! |
Come on out, and fight me like a man!» |
And that was when the churning and the chugging sounds began |
An army of the townsfolk soon poured out into the street |
Each of them on steam-bikes, and they all were packing heat |
They had his men surrounded, there was fear on every face |
And they put them in their place! |
Power up your steam-bike, let’s show 'em who’s in charge |
We’ve got our ropes and grappling hooks and weapons to discharge |
Copperplate is panicked and his face is turning white |
And we’re gonna win this fight! |
That’s right! |
Let’s go! |
Now power down your steam-bike, we finally took 'em down |
We strung 'em up and licked 'em good and ran them out of town |
Verdigris Patina is a peaceful town once more |
And we won the Copper War! |
Hyah! |
