Hey Hey 16k

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, may be very flash
But there'll never beat the thrill of getting through Jetpac

Hey hey, 16k
What does that get you today?
You need more than that for a letter
Old school 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 today?
You need more than that for a letter
Old school ram paks are much better
Hey hey, 16k
What does that get you today?
