I remember the days of Mortal Combat and Street Fighter
These times still an ankle biter
But I didn't have much, At the most had a Nintendo and a Sega and a stolen pager, Nokia's popped up a little bit later
About '98 that's when I got a PS1 and Tomb Raider
'99, That's the time I got my Nike trainers
When Dizzee Rascal went famous
And them mandem learned what running a train was
Started getting a bit dangerous
But no-one told me what turning insane was
Till I started turning it
Then a man explained what the game was
See when I was about fifteen
Head-tops were getting licked off clean
And I was not on jack moves
Until they brought out TV's with flat sceens
And then I started licking them
Jack moves, I was carefully picking them
After Ryan licked about 10 of them
I was flossing more jewelry than the queen
About one Year later, Jungle Days, I must have missed them
These times still an ankle biter
But I didn't have much, At the most had a Nintendo and a Sega and a stolen pager, Nokia's popped up a little bit later
About '98 that's when I got a PS1 and Tomb Raider
'99, That's the time I got my Nike trainers
When Dizzee Rascal went famous
And them mandem learned what running a train was
Started getting a bit dangerous
But no-one told me what turning insane was
Till I started turning it
Then a man explained what the game was
See when I was about fifteen
Head-tops were getting licked off clean
And I was not on jack moves
Until they brought out TV's with flat sceens
And then I started licking them
Jack moves, I was carefully picking them
After Ryan licked about 10 of them
I was flossing more jewelry than the queen
About one Year later, Jungle Days, I must have missed them
