View Master

I turned on the TV set
 To check up on Battle of the Planets
 At seven am 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 bullet-proof 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
 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 new six-string guitar
 I was straining to hear I was straining to reach them
 But Stretch Armstrong couldn't stretch that far
 I opened my blue toy box
 And found a couple dead spiders and pair of old socks
 My Batman costume doesn't seem to fit
 All my Star Wars guys are gone
 Except a headless Tusken Raider and the cryogenic Han
 And Boba's still digesting in my Sarlacc pit
 My NHL Slot Hockey's 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 ten years ago
 That I'd get up once a week to watch the Krofft Supershow
 With Electra Woman and Dynagirl?
 I can hear the Sleestaks pounding at my door
 Since Puff the Magic Dragon ceased his mighty roar
 I'm gonna cry if I can't find my View Master
 Spirograph 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 new six-string guitar
 I was straining to hear I was straining to reach them
 But Stretch Armstrong couldn't stretch that far
