Song lyrics:
Gimme an A for my Apple, the little apple of my eye
And A is also for my Air Pro, the watch that gives me more than time
B is for my Bell Cig Charger, it’s also for my Belkin Cassette Adapter
I also got a Buck, ha, no not a deer, this one’s shiny and sharp, ohhh dear
C…F Card that is, let’s not forget my Creature Speakis
Alright, back to tha blues
Gimme a D for my D-Link it sends signals thru the air
And when I’m lost in a city, Destinator gets me there.
E is for the extra batteries….that’s it!
F is for my Fuji Digicam
G and I are travellin as were Griffin iTrippin
HP leads my Ipaq into the court hearing
Got a pair of headphones that silence everything
Oooooo, it gets a little scary, got a Monster in my bag, also got an Innopocket protects my scandalous Ipaq
My Journey’s pack is always loaded, with all the gadgets that I have
Always got a can of Klik in my bag, gotta love the side effects of canned meat instead
Instead if my Lexar or a Lowepro bag
Or what about microdrive or a multi-tool instead (holds it and cough)
Gotta ergo Nike backpack and a Powerball indeed, no not a lottery ticket silly
Rollin with my buddy Oakley, gotta use that caribeen…er
P’s a lonely place for Pentax, currently shooting me
Always have a quarter, like mommy told me
R brings us Razr and some recharge batteries.
S is a Syson GPS indeed, a swiss card and a sharp knife leads us to T
Toshiba leads my gadgets in size and memory
I’m getting a hankerin for the blues in G
The USB is quite ingenious, it powers almost anything
V is for my Akron Vent Mount, my GPS is lost without this thing.
Gotta a wiener named Frank in the sack, ya never know when a BBQ breaks out in the back.
X is for the xtra stuff that wouldn’t fit, under their respective alphabet
We got a Tumi wheely bag, a tripod and a Gravis airliner. Also got a Laptop case and a notebook mouse a little sack for odds and sods and a freakin robot.
Y is for the Yummy Eats, the yummy eats I like keep. I like to keep my tummy happy, so I feed it yummy eats.
Well my friends there’s only one letter left…
Z is for the Zzzzzzz’s that I need to get, goodday, goodnight my friends, it’s time for me to leave.
I really hope you’ve enjoyed my gadgetry. Let me leave you with a though or two, hell, maybe 3, take care, wash your hands and comb your hair.
Gadgets will change, so will your hair….
