about

This song is dedicated to Famicom Dojo, a retro game podcast.

lyrics

It all started in 1983
All the Japanese boys fell in love
asked their parents to get one
One of these red and white fun machines

It was more popular than skateboards
It was more popular than baseball
It was harder than math class
It was our after-school life

Yes we were born to play all these video games
Let's say "clear" in our Famicom Dojo

Oh God
Thank you for these video games

We all went to the rich kids' house
To play the gorgeous disk-system
Sometimes it was Kuso-Ge
Now we know life is more like Takeshi's challenge

Mr.Takahashi was a hero
16 shots in a second
Everybody tried fast shooting
You should be quick or you'll be dead

Yes we were born to play all these retro games
Let's say "continue" in our Famicom Dojo

Oh God
Thank you for these video games

Play games 1 hour a day
That's what Mr.Takahashi said

Infinity Multiplication
One hundred Marios
Let's input the Konami code
Now I am invincible

Can you tell me the "Spell of Restoration"
Because I forgot to take a memo!
Fukkatsu No Jumon Ga Chigaimasu

Yes we were born to play all these video games
Let's say "clear" in our Famicom Dojo
Yes we were born to play all these retro games
Let's say "continue" in our Famicom Dojo

Oh God
Thank you for the video games

Yeah! Ah!
Bandai Namco!
Hudson Hudson!

Oh! Wow!
Now who can beat my Joy Card MK2?
Automatic turbo shooting
16 shots in a second!

Okay let's play some dig dug
We don't know Mega Man!
We call it Rock Man!
We don't know Mega Man!
We call him Rock Man!
