Stairlift from Devon
(To be recited or sung/sang in the style of Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven')
There’s a lady that’s sure that’s she’s getting old
And she’s trying a stairlift from Devon
When it gets there she goes upstairs for some clothes,
How absurd can it get, she thought not much more
So she's trying a stairlift from Devon
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure,
Because she knows that the chair could start leaning
It takes her full load,
The seat is shallow but up she goes,
In a whirl she forgot what her cane was for
She still climbs with her load,
The seat’s still shallow but up she goes
So she’s still trying her stairlift from Devon
Then squawks her parrot off we go,
Feathers bright green and yellow
She’s got the gist of it at last
So she starts going fast
She starts to rock and the seat rolls
Her confidence builds and so off she goes
This Stannas seat was meant to last
Now Mary’s starting to have a blast
No more the stairway outcast
It doesn’t matter that she’s old
As long as she grips on - keeps hold
She’s got he hang of it at last
Her fear of stairs all in the past
Now from the hall straight up the wall
Whenever natures makes a call
Her bladder loves the quick relief
No more soggy pants and grief
Her dreams come true steeped with belief
So she’s bought the stairlift from Devon
