"Space Age Whiz Kids" lyrics

"Space Age Whiz Kids"

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 block 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

Space-age whiz kids kids
Leaders in the field
Pioneers of research
Space-age whiz kids

Arcade mother-ship monsters, laser-beam blast-shield 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

Space-age whiz kids kids. Space-age whiz kids

Space-age whiz kids kids. Space-age whiz kids
Space-age whiz kids
Space-age whiz kids
Space-age whiz kids
Space-age whiz kids

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

Space-age whiz kids. space-age whiz kids
Space-age whiz kids. space-age whiz kids
Space-age whiz kids. space-age whiz kids
Space-age whiz kids. space-age whiz kids

Kind of a young thing
I like space-age whiz kids
I like... I like... I like... I need quarters... quarters!
Give me quarters! I like quarters!
