The Ballad of The Redneck Mech

This here's a ballad. A ballad of a man. A kindly man, Grandpa Grampa.

What got his dog killed by a giant super robot powered by the fuel of Japanese dreams, Samuroid Z.

Now that there's a grounds for a fight.

...

This is the tale of a man who builds a John Deere styled mecha to avenge his squished loyal dog. The avenging shall be done against a number of anime-inspired parodies, all set to the a fine and jaunty tune.

The tune really should probably come first.

Other designs forthcoming, mecha and pilots.

"Our dog Zeke was in the yard
I was playing jacks, my brother
cards
When a shadow passed across the sky
And blew up our house"

"Grandpa came out of his shed
He found Junior about half dead
And he shook his fist to the sky"

"The old man was super smart.
On Friday night before it got dark
He'd go out back like Tony Stark
And get to buildin'"

"Then a robot landed in the yard.
Ma had a heart attack and I was
scarred
For life"

"I dodged his laser beam eyes
And he shot rockets into the sky
That blew up our house"

"Grandpa gazed up at the sight/
A giant metal man with giant metal might/
He decided there and then that it was gonna be quite a fight"

"Samuroid Z could scrape the sky/
Some 10 yards wide and 30 high/
With an ego to match"

Post-"...fist to the sky"
"'You done kilt my dog, done hurt my kin/
I do believe that's quite a sin'/
And Grandpa got to thinkin'"
Pre-"The old man..."

Minor rewrite:
"for life" to "For life, that is"

"Well, Samuroid Z gave a say/
'Greetings fine citizens!/
Have a nice day!'/
And that demon machine went on his way"

"'I'm glad I saved them parts from rust/
'Cause this thing here I know I can trust/'
And thus the 'Pro Pain' came to be"

"Samuroid Z, he let out a scream/
'YOU OLD FOOL! FACE THE Z-BEAM!'/
And blew up our barn"
