Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road (Again)? (Male Singer)

(Intro - A slightly out-of-tune fanfare) Right, gather 'round, you history buffs, Prepare for facts, and also some guff! We're covering famous inventors, you see, From brilliant minds to utter lunacy! (Verse 1 - A jaunty, slightly chaotic tune) Archimedes, yelled "Eureka!" in the bath, Ran through the streets, ignoring his aftermath! Lever and pulley, his tools of the trade, Though his inventions, sometimes, were quite ill-made! He set fire to ships with a giant mirror, But mostly just chilled, drinking cheap beer-a! (Chorus - A singalong, slightly off-key) Inventors, inventors, some smart, some daft, Building contraptions, from bow to raft! They tinkered and toiled, with sparks in their eyes, Creating machines of all shapes and sizes! (Verse 2 - A more dramatic, almost operatic melody) Edison, the lightbulb, he claimed it as his, Though others had tried, and met with some fizz! A thousand attempts, before it would glow, (He probably nicked ideas, on the down-low!) He also invented the phonograph's sound, So now we can listen to cats meowing 'round! (Chorus - A singalong, slightly off-key) Inventors, inventors, some smart, some daft, Building contraptions, from bow to raft! They tinkered and toiled, with sparks in their eyes, Creating machines of all shapes and sizes! (Verse 3 - A fast-paced, almost rap-like rhythm) The Wright brothers, they flew, it's a fact, At Kitty Hawk beach, there was no turning back! A biplane they built, with wings made of wood, Though their first few attempts, weren't quite so good! They crashed and they burned, again and again, But finally soared, through sunshine and rain! (Chorus - A singalong, slightly off-key, with extra enthusiasm) Inventors, inventors, some smart, some daft, Building contraptions, from bow to raft! They tinkered and toiled, with sparks in their eyes, Creating machines of all shapes and sizes! (Outro - A final flourish, ending abruptly) So remember these names, when you're using your stuff, From lightbulbs to planes, they did their bit, sure enough! (Unless it's a self-driving car, then who knows what's next...) (Sound of a comical crash)
