I turned on the TV set to check up on Battle of the Planets

At seven a.m. on Saturday

But G-Force and Mr. Magoo went the way of the New Zoo Revue

And all my Super Friends have gone away

Daphne, Fred and Velma, what am I to do?

You've gone and left me hanging out with Scooby-Dum and Scrappy-Doo

All the countless hours we spent

watching Jimmy Olsen, Lois, Perry and Clark Kent

I guess George Reeves wasn't bulletproof after all

Oh Captain Kangaroo

they broke the Creepy Crawler Mold after they made you

And Mr. Moose ran out of ping-pong balls

My Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots have seen better days

And Mom just went and threw my Archie comics away

CHORUS:

I'm gonna cry if I can't find my View Master

Etch-a-Sketch me a pretty picture

Go Speed Racer go a little faster

I could hear the voices of my childhood

When I traded in my Close and Play for a second-hand guitar

I was straining to hear, I was straining to reach them

But Stretch Armstrong couldn't stretch that far

Slinkies and Slurpees and Crazy Straws

The Easter Bunny and Santa Claus

A Shogun Warrior, a Weeble, and Evel Knievel

I opened my blue toy box

and found a couple dead spiders and a pair of old socks

My Batman costume didn't seem to fit

All my Star Wars guys are gone

except a headless Tusken Raider and the Carbon Frozen Han

And Boba's still digesting in my sandbox Sarlacc pit

My NHL Slot Hockey is rusting underneath my bed

My Hungry Hungry Hippo's starving, it's been years since he was fed

I can't believe it's been so long

since I stayed up past my bedtime just to play a game of Pong

My Sit and Spin has got me in a whirl

Was it twenty years ago

that I'd get up once a week to watch the Krofft Supershow-ac
