Make it work Noughty

Verse 1

The kids say, “Grandma, what’s wrong with your phone?

Why’s your screen cracked, and what’s that ringtone?"

“You swipe the screen—no, not like that!”

“C’mon, old-timer, catch up with the chat!”

---

Chorus

But Grandma just grins and pulls out a tape,

Says, “Can you tell me what it’s for, smarty-pants, mate?”

“Program a VCR? Ever heard of rewind?”

“You know your TikToks, but are you good with time?”

---

Verse 2

“Can you load a floppy or burn a CD?

Do you even know what ‘Ctrl + Z’ used to be?"

"Yeah, you’ve got apps, but here's the twist:

Can you fix the Wi-Fi when it doesn’t exist?"

---

Verse 3

"What’s this thing? Oh yeah, a rotary phone,

No touchscreen, just numbers you dial on your own.”

They laugh, but Grandpa's got more to say:

"Bet you’ve never seen vinyl records play."

---

Bridge

They say, “Do some math—no calculator!

And good luck with cursive, see ya later.”

Older folks grin, not missing a beat,

“Go ahead, whiz kid, can you count without cheat?”
