Gave My Helmet to Rhodey: an Iron Man folk song

Image
Gave my helmet to Rhodey With loose circuitry Said, “I can’t be Shellhead Would you do it, please?” He put on the armor, gave Magma what-for Forgive the few windows he made into doors Kept warm in the Bowery burning Ayn Rand almost killed by irony: death by Firebrand With advice from Morley, Jim did pretty well Until those damn headaches gave poor Rhodey hell I love Indries Moomji But met her disdain Too late found the Chess King: Obadiah Stane I built my own armor from a box of spare parts It helped me quit drinkin’, those ‘lectronic arts Confronted the Bad Guy At trillionaire's cost I did save the baby But somebody lost.
