Saved
Back, back to being bored
No computer, empty desk
Had my dreams, and then lost them
"We'll get another," my parents said
"We can look on our spring break trip"
Down, down the road
A 200 mile drive to Duluth
Went to the Target, to buy a VIC-20
Almost bought it, but my parents saw
The Commodore 64 had dropped in price
"We'll get another", my parents said
We bought the C-64 at Target
I brought it back to the hotel, still sealed in the box
So impatient, I wanted to play it
Wanted to hook it up to the TV in the room
But my parents were worried I'd break it, or set off some alarm
So all I could do was read the User's Guide
About how to type in programs to play Row Row Your Boat
Or make a Commodore balloon fly across the sky
I couldn't wait to go back home
And back home we finally went
Walking to the corner store to buy the new issue of Transactor or Ahoy!
Riding my bike down the road to Zellers to buy Jumpman Junior on cartridge
Typing in that balloon sprite demo from the Commodore 64 Programmer's Reference Guide
Bought a computer, my very own computer
Bought a computer, my very own computer
Bought a computer, my very own computer
Bought a computer, my very own computer...
