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!
