Space Age Whiz Kids
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I used to play that pinball, I used to go outside
I had to spend my money, get on your bus and ride
I used to go out dancing, put on my high-heeled shoes
Get in my short black chevy, go on a downtown cruise
I feel a little bit mixed up, maybe I'm obsolete
All us pinball pool sharks, we just can't compete

Leaders in the field
Pioneers of research
Space age whiz kids

Arcade mothership monsters, laserbeam blastshield eyes
Full on space age madness, make-believe satellite skies
Alien ships approaching, there's trouble in sector five
Left hand on the joystick, right hand hyperspace drive

They got nothing to do, put another quarter in
Pay those space age dues
Donkey Kong high score, Pac Man's on a roll
Klingons on the warpath, whiz kids on patrol

I like...I need...I need quarters...quarters!
Give me quarters! I like quarters!
