Sometimes I wish I could go back in time
Saturday morning cartoons of the past I can't find
No more do they play Are You Afraid Of The Dark
You can't even find any information on the Street Sharks
Laser tag meant playing in the yard
No one was permanently scarred
Paintball was for the teens
You laughed at the word beans
Beans, beans the magical fruit
And to the creator, I still salute
Most kids didn't know if they were high class
The other kids didn't care if you were white trash
Pop rocks & Mickey went hand in hand
I remember when Nike Air was the only brand
The Commodore 64 was the biggest thing
Pong was always the follow up to ping
Atari took over the Commodore
No longer could you find it in the stores
Nintendo gave Atari the boot
Duck Hunt came with a gun to shoot
Computers took 5 1/2's and patience to load
The basics of a computer had three modes
VHS had taken over Beta
It took an hour to load 50k's of data
A Drive-In was the perfect place for a date
It didn't matter if you were on time or late
Living in the 80's, but they were the 90's to me
Saved By The Bell, rerun every day at three
Snap bracelets were banned from the school
Sneak one by the teacher to try to be cool
All these things I thought were new
Really had a few years to brew
Woody Woodpecker, Road Runner, & Daffy Duck
Cartoon memories, in the past I love to be stuck
Horror movies that were frightening
Were old news, no longer had that lightning
A-tracks were being overrun by tapes
You knew about the wrath of the grapes
Because they made you read The Grapes Of Wrath
They taught you English, they forced on you math
Fraggle Rock was a staple in your TV diet
Two words my friends, Quiet Riot
It was 99 cents for a gallon of gas
Your hand felt good against a blade of grass
Captain Kangaroo wasn't just a hook to a song
A stripper was the only one to wear a thong
Big hair and mullets were all the rage
The Neverending Story turned another page
The Lion, The Witch, And The Scarecrow was a book
Your mother was the only one to know how to cook
Your father worked on cars all the time
You Spent the day searching for anything to climb
The 80's and 90's, a look into the past
It sure was fun, but it flies by too fast
