My Atari

Rainy days never brought much fun

I played Kerplunk while you set up Mouse Trap

Never thought that you’d be the one

But technology seems to have changed all that

 

It’s my Atari 2-6-0-0 brand new

Game’s galore and its graphics so fine

Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders too

No shame in losing to a girl each time

 

We were just good friends or so it seemed

When the lights went out for optimum view

Your eyes would sparkle by the light of the moon

You stole my heart and my adaptor too

 

(Chorus)

Colecovision, Intellivision, Commodore 64

You pushed reset on my fragile heart

When you walked out that door

Colecovision, Intellivision, Atari 2-6-0-0

You unplugged my joystick forever

I should have never let you go

 

The way you caressed my joystick

A firm grip at the base

Moving your man up and down with such grace

And that look of concentration on your face

 

And when the rubber would come free

You wouldn’t even flinch

You kept on shooting happily

While you gripped every bare inch

 

(Chorus)

Colecovision, Intellivision, Commodore 64

You pushed reset on my fragile heart

When you walked out that door

Colecovision, Intellivision, Atari 2-6-0-0

You unplugged my joystick forever

I should have never let you go

 

That day in July when frustrations ran high

I couldn’t get my Pac Man to work

Pushed it in, pulled it out how I did try

It was driving me beserk

 

And then you took it to your lips so warm

and gave it one fantastic blow

Which brought it back to working form

Then you beat me twice in a row

 

(Chorus)

Colecovision, Intellivision, Commodore 64

You pushed reset on my fragile heart

When you walked out that door

Colecovision, Intellivision, Atari 2-6-0-0

You unplugged my joystick forever

I should have never let you go

 

And I want my adaptor back!!!!!
