In summer 2010, three of my friends cycled across America to raise money for Lance Armstrong's 'Livestrong' cancer charity. Of course, busy man that he is, Lance couldn't spare a moment to acknowledge their efforts. This was my appeal to Lance, written while travelling with my friends across America, to go all out and meet us at our journey's end in Washington D.C.
lyrics
I'm cycling 'cross the U.S.,
With a backpack and my two friends,
Our fifty-day battle started in Seattle,
So answer me this, fellow lord of the saddle:
Lance Armstrong, won't you meet us in D.C.?
We've cycled 'cross the country to see thee,
Four thousand miles on a bike's never easy,
So Lance, wont you meet us in D.C.?
Did you ever know you're my hero,
Despite your penchant for EPO?
But if we don't meet I'll tell friends you're a cheat,
Which each of my fifteen followers will retweet.
(Chorus)
(Piano solo)
Lance Armstrong, won't you meet us in D.C.?
We've cycled 'cross the country to see thee,
Four thousand miles on a bike's never easy,
Wrote you ten letters, won't you R.S.V.P. me?
Oh Lance, oh Lance, oh Lance, oh Lance,
Let's go out for dinner, then after to dance,
I'm sure we'll hit it off if you meet me,
Lance Armstrong, won't you say you'll marry me?
