Prompt / Lyrics
Intro (Horns hit, upbeat guitar upstrokes) Hey! Hey! Pick it up! Pick it up! Yeah we’re goin’ back now— Back to the 90’s! ⸻ Verse 1 Woke up Saturday morning, sun through the blinds Cartoons on TV, man those were the times Grab my bike, hit the street, meet the crew down the block No phones, no texts, just a knock-knock-knock Nintendo humming with the power light glow GoldenEye battles till it’s time to go Street hockey nets and scraped up knees Man, growing up was easy as can be ⸻ Pre-Chorus No timelines, no feeds, no scrolling all day Just friends in the street and a game to play ⸻ Chorus Ohhh take me back to the 90’s tonight Where the music was loud and the future was bright MTV playing videos all night long And the whole world sang the same damn song Pick it up, pick it up, don’t let it fade away Blockbuster movies on a Friday We were young, we were wild, everything felt right Take me back to the 90’s tonight ⸻ Verse 2 TGIF on ABC every Friday night “Full House,” “Boy Meets World,” everything felt right Saved up change just to rent a game From Blockbuster shelves with the plastic name PlayStation boot sound shaking the room Tony Hawk grinding under the moon Back when arcades were still alive And the mall was the place where the kids would thrive ⸻ Pre-Chorus No politics fights on every screen Just pizza, friends, and a pair of blue jeans ⸻ Chorus Ohhh take me back to the 90’s tonight Where the music was loud and the future was bright MTV playing videos all night long And the whole world sang the same damn song Pick it up, pick it up, don’t let it fade away Late night Taco Bell after a show or a game We were young, we were wild, everything felt right Take me back to the 90’s tonight ⸻ Bridge (Breakdown ska style) Remember cassette tapes and rewinding the track Dial-up screaming when the internet cracked Summer nights and the stars overhead Dreaming big with the road up ahead No worries about the world going mad Just living every moment we had ⸻ Final Chorus (Big horns) Ohhh take me back to the 90’s tonight When the days felt endless and the dreams took flight From Mario jumps to the silver screen Jurassic Park and the Teenage Mutant scene Pick it up, pick it up, let the memories play Those were the nights that won’t fade away We were kids, we were kings under neon lights Take me back to the 90’s tonight ⸻ Outro (Horns and chant) Pick it up! Pick it up! Back to the 90’s! Pick it up! Pick it up! Best days ever! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back to the 90’s! Pick it up! Pick it up! Best days ever! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back to the 90’s! Pick it up! Pick it up! Best days ever!
