worm quartet - when i was a boy lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when i was a boy, our nintendo
was carved from an old apple tree
and we used garden hose to connect it
to our steam_powered color tv

[verse 2]
but it still beat that ancient atari
and i nearly went blind, don’tcha know
playing break_out and pong on a video game
hooked up to the radio

[chorus]
and we walked twenty miles to the schoolhouse
barefoot and uphill both ways
through blizzards and summer and winter
back in the good ole days

back when
and the pc was only a toy
and we did our computing by gas_light
when i (i)
was a boy

[verse 3]
when i was a boy, all our networks
were for haulin’ in fish from thе sea
our [?]rate was eight bits an hour
(it was worth it!)
and our ip addrеss was three
[verse 4]
and you kids that complain that your data connection’s too slow
better knock off your b_tchin’!
’cause when i was a boy, every packet
was delivered by carrier pigeon!

[chorus]
and we walked twenty miles to the schoolhouse
barefoot and uphill both ways
through blizzards and summer and winter
back in the good ole days

back when
and the mainframe was only a toy
and we did our computing by torch_light
when i (i)
was a boy

[instrumental]

[verse 5]
when i was a boy, our it shop
built relational tables from wood
and we wrappered our data in oilcloth
to preserve it the best that we could
[verse 6]
and we carried our bits
in a bucket
and our mainframe weighed 900 tons
and we programmed in ones and in zeros
and sometimes we ran out of ones!

[chorus]
and we walked twenty miles to the schoolhouse
barefoot and uphill both ways
through blizzards and summer and winter
back in the good ole days

back when
and the abacus, only a toy
and we did our computing by gas_light
we did our computing by torch_light
we did our computing in primordial darkness
when i (i)
was a boy

(yep!)
