The Helmet Song (Original Song)

I started out thinking I had a point I wanted to make, but silliness just got in the way.

I'm pretty sure this video must top my previous videos in the "let's see how much I can make a fool out of myself on the internet" category :)

[C]I wear my helmet when I bike,
[G]I wear my helmet when I skate.
[C]I wear my helmet when I walk.
[F]Can never be too safe.

[C]I wear a helmet when I ski,
[G]I wear a helmet when I swim.
[C]I've got my helmet [F]on right now,
[G]in case the roof caves [C]in.
---
[G]You're telling me I'm crazy, with my [C]helmet all the time.
[G]Saying, "that's not necessary, [C]dear".
[G]But I'm not as scared as [Am]you might think,
[F]I can do anything with my helmet [G]here.

[G]I play frogger on the street with my [C]pogo stick.
[F]Take my unicycle on the [G]freeway.
[G]On daring days I bungee jump without the [C]bungee
[F]And my trusty helmet [G]always saves the [C]day.

I wear a helmet when I raft,
I wear a helmet when I sail
I wear a helmet when I surf
Just in case it hails.

I wear a helmet when I fish
or when I'm out hunting ducks.
And on the days when I stay in,
Wear a helmet when I f***

I once was lost just like you, my friend. 
In search of that helmet-shaped shape. 
Tried sombreros, and burqas and earmuffs, 
and even tin foil attached with tape.

But the stetsons and berets never felt quite right. 
No feeling of invincibility. 
I almost gave up, 'til I met Darth Vader. 
Just listen to what he said to me:
---
I wear my helmet at the beach,
There's lots of frisbees flying 'round.
I wear my helmet when I sing.
It helps improve the sound.

I wear my helmet when I bowl,
throwing darts or playing pool.
I wear a helmet at the bar,
in case I fall off the stool.
---
[G]A helmet all the time is the [C]way to live.
[F]You know you should wear one [G]too.
---
I wear a helmet when I drive,
just in case the seatbelt breaks.
I wear a helmet when I hike,
all those poisonous snakes.

I wear a helmet when I board
be it body, snow, or wake.
I wear my helmet playing chess,
it helps me concentrate.
