Frank Black - Whatever Happened To Pong? Lyrics

My brother and me used to play it
Down at the bar
Taking money from guys
More used to the playing of cards

Paddle the paddle to the side to the side
To the side to the side to the paddle the paddle
Paddle the paddle the side to the side
Pong
Ball in the machine

Now virtually everyone's singing
A popular song
But I still believe in
In the excellent joy of the Pong

To the side to the side to the paddle the paddle
To the paddle the paddle the side to the side
To the side to the side to the paddle the paddle
Pong
Ball in the machine

Now if they take it H.G. Wells
Well, I'll be on the first flight
To a time before the Kong
Whatever happened to Pong?

Paddle the paddle to the side to the side
To the side to the side to the paddle the paddle
Paddle the paddle the side to the side
Pong
Ball in the machine
