Hey Hey 16K Songtext
von MJ Hibbett & The Validators

We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out
Lunchtimes in the library
Writing down the pokes and peeks
Copying an access code,
Get a taste for home taping
Fetishists of map-making
Rubber keys and rotten leads
Rand and run and load and screens
Then five minutes fingers crossed
Hoping not to witness the terror
Of R:Tape Loading Error


We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out
ZX Spectrum 81,
Dragon Vic and Oric1
Commodore 64,
Amstrad and an Acorn Electorn
Cheaper BBC Micro
Jet Set Willy, Sabre Wulf,
Lords of Midnight, Underwurlde
Dark Star, Transam, Ant Attak
And of course Manic Miner
The Hobbit and Knight Lore and Elite
It made a generation who can code
A bubble before proper consoles, who all know
That the games you get today, well they might be very flash
But there′ll never beat the thrill of getting through Jetpac
Hey Hey, 16K, What does that get you these days?
You need more than that for a letter
Old Skool Ram Paks are much better.
Personal Computer Games, Your Sinclair, 16K
Kempston Competition Pro, Crash and Cursor Keys and GO TO
Dixons and bother Saturday staff with loops that never end
We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out
Hey Hey, 16K, What does that get you these days?
You need more than that for a letter
Old Skool Ram Paks are much better.
