Barcade Date Songtext

von YTCracker

Show up at her house around six
Her driveway paved in them offset bricks
Always been a little nervous around them hot chicks
Cause of all those years I spent on computer chips
Hesitate as I approach her door
I don't even have a place to take her on this date so what am I here for?
I gotta think quickly or else
She's gonna know im just an oaf and I'm just kidding myself

Wheres a place that we can just chill?
That I can impress her with one of my little skills?
Karaoke's not an option man you all heard me singing
About deleting all my files and doing computer cleaning
Only sport I'm even good at is surfing up on the web
And the only place I do thats at the foot of my bed
Hold up - I think I got a solution
A staple of the past, a classic game institution

Take her on a barcade date
Make her feel special and make me look great
Show her I'm a bit of a player
So I can do the Joust in her Dragon's Lair
Get that Elevator action I'm doing the up and down
Like I'm going on a Rampage destroying the whole town
Show her my Command of the Missile
On a grid of multicolored pixels

Take her on a barcade date
Make her feel special and make me look great
Show her I'm a bit of a player
So I can do the Joust in her Dragon's Lair
Get that Elevator action I'm doing the up and down
Like I'm going on a Rampage destroying the whole town
Show her my Command of the Missile
On a grid of multicolored pixels

Soon as we enter I'm feeling myself at home
To the left I got Ms. Pac Man, to the right Battlezone
Listen to the bleeps and the boops
I'm putting money in the changer I'm gon' rally the troops
I got a pocket full of quarters and my homeboys do too
Sipping on the gin and the juice
Watch her eyes light up as I'm working the crane
Trying to win her a stuffed animal with all of my change

"Let me give a shot," she states
So I give her the controls and wait
First try and she's pulling out a dinosaur
Looks like I bring in a ringer and she's defeating my score
Who would've known this girl would slaughter every record I made
And I watched her get a kill screen on each game that she played
I was a bit afraid - but was surely turned on
And i knew she was a keeper when she defeated Tron

Took her on a barcade date
I'm not that special but I should feel great
Showed her I'm not much of a player
So she might run Defender on her Dragon's Lair
She got that Elevator action, she doing the up and down
Like she's going on a Rampage destroying the whole town
Showed me her Command of the Missile
On a grid of multicolored pixels

Took her on a barcade date
I'm not that special but I should feel great
Showed her I'm not much of a player
So she might run Defender on her Dragon's Lair
She got that Elevator action, she doing the up and down
Like she's going on a Rampage destroying the whole town
Showed me her Command of the Missile
On a grid of multicolored pixels

Man, I'm in like Flynn
Not Erol you stupid dummy I'm talking Kevin
Even though I'm obviously lacking in talent in games
She thought it was endearing that I tried all the same
So with my Pole Position secure I felt better
I knew it was a lock when she put on my hooded sweater
And she cuddled up next to me
And touched my balls like I'm Centipede

'scuse me for being lewd I'm not used to attention
From the opposite sex but I believe that I mentioned
That clearly at the onset I think that I'm falling
Rapidly in love like four lined blocks in a column
That's a Tetris reference - one that she'd get
One I'm sure she would appreciate me saying before we split
So I did - and she snickered
Then we headed back to her place for some Frogger and liquor

We went on a barcade date
Then we headed to her home to Invader each other's Space
I guess we're just a couple of players
'Bout to make a Tempest in the Dragon's Lair
We got the Elevator action, we doing the up and down
Like we going on a Rampage destroying the whole town
Showing our Command of the Missiles
From a grid of multicolored pixels

We went on a barcade date
Then we headed to her home to Invader each other's Space
I guess we're just a couple of players
'Bout to make a Tempest in the Dragon's Lair
We got the Elevator action, we doing the up and down
Like we going on a Rampage destroying the whole town
Showing our Command of the Missiles
From a grid of multicolored pixels
