lyrics

Collecting the bottle caps, we needed all six
Trying to spell Pac-Man, the C was hard to get

Powered with four Ray-O-Vac batteries
A variable speed control that would shift the pitch

Then Tron with light-cycles and throwing discs
Defeating the MCP, without the help of Bit
Playing an electronic game about a game inside the game
Wrapping the score at 1,999
