My Wheelchair's Demise!


Well, I always go out dancing,
And do the wheelchair rock!
But just the other week, I tell you true!
What a shock I got!
My wheelchair started acting up,
And squeaking like crazy mad!
The wheels weren't working well,
And I got really sad!

Cos I never wana stop dancing!
Tis the most thing that I miss you see,
Oh to be able to have one more dance,
Totally wheelchair free!
But I guess it's never gona happen!
Well, not in this lifetime; that's true!
Cos I have to tell you here and now!
I was a cracking dancer too!

But as I got more knackered,
And the spine deteriorated more,
I knew my dancing days were over,
Yep, I really knew the score!
So I went and bought another chair,
And what a cracker it is!
But no way will I dance in that!
Cos it's brilliant and really is the biz!

So I will swan around in my new chair,
And keep the other once to dance in!
Cos I have to say, at the end of the day!
As longs as I fight the fight, I win!!!
And I will never lie down to illnesses!
Not in any way at all!
More I will fight with the strength within me!
Until the day I get my final call!

And all will remember the wheelchair rock!
Cos I tell you; could I jive!
Just like the fella in the film,
You know, that one; ‘staying alive!'
Cos I can dance and rock with the best of them!
And I never get tired legs or feet!
Co I have to say, at the end of the day!
The wheelchair rock and roll is pretty neat!

And if you're out dancing one night!
Look about, and look to the floor!
And there I'll be, little old me!
Giving the dancing what for!
And when the new chair takes over one day,
Of course, just as it will…
You will always see me dancing about!
Cos baby, I'm never still!!!

So I will rock on till I can't do it!
When I'm in my dotage you see!
Cos I will never stop, no way will I;
Cos that just won't do for me!
I've been told wheelchairs are not allowed;
On the dance floor, oh yes, that's true!
For a very stupid fella said this!
So tell me, who's disabled?  Who?

Well it sure the hell aint me!
Cos I will rock until I drop!
Cos mark my words, and knock me flat!
I am never gona stop!
