View Master lyrics

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
