Friends, comrades, and industrial equipment enthusiasts, Kobi LaCroix is proud to bring you the gripping story of a man and his forklift.
Lyrics:
Henry drives a forklift across the USA
Folks all want to meet him, but he’s got to keep on schedule
He waves at little children with his prosthetic hand
He lost his real hand in a hydraulic press
Forklift Henry, a-chuggin’ down the road
A working class hero with questionable judgement
Henry drives a forklift at ninety miles an hour
When cattle run in front of him, he skewers ’em with his forklift
State trooper told him, “That thing’s not highway legal!”
So Henry ran him over, and that’s why he can’t stop
Forklift Henry, he may have killed a man
He didn’t mean to; at least that’s what he says
Henry ate some sushi from a truck stop near Dubuque
It was five months past the expiry date, and it made him violently ill
Forklift Henry, he can’t stop throwing up
Hmm hmm hmm hmm; he can’t stop throwing up
Forklift Henry, he pisses in his shoe
He missed the last rest stop, and he’s running out of shoes
Henry made a fortune on a Reno slot machine
That’s how he bought a forklift and fitted it with jet engines
Now he’s breaking land speed records on the Bonneville Salt Flats
He’s such a badass, he makes God look like a turd
Forklift Henry is American as fuck
He just hit an eagle; that’s probably a crime
Henry drove his forklift off the pier at Santa Cruz
He fell into the ocean and got picked up by a whale
He climbed up on that whale’s back and rode it to Japan
Now they do commercials on Japanese TV
Whale Ridin’ Henry is a better man than most
Omae wa mou shindeiru

Good to see you doing silly songs again.
I absolutely LOVE the fact that this doesn't rhyme.
I absolutely LOVE the fact that this doesn't rhyme.
Few men can even aspire to be Staplerfahrer Klaus. And for that we should be grateful.
I realize part of the extended joke is the absence of a rhyme scheme. I'm also trying to make it rhyme. Sample:
Henry drives a forklift 'cross the lower forty-eight
Folks all want to meet him, but he can't be an hour late
He waves at little children with his hand-shaped prosthesis
He got it when his real hand was hydraulic'ly pressed to pieces
Forklift Henry, traversin' the interstate
A working class hero making questionable choices
ETA: Is this a bad idea, or presumptuous, or insulting, or do you have some other reaction?
