Ookla The Mok - View Master Lyrics

I turned on the TV set
To check up on Battle of the Planets
At seven am on Saturday
But G-Force and Mr. Magoo
Went the way of the New Zoo Revue
And all my Super Friends have gone away

Daphne, Fred, and Velma what am I to do?
You've gone and left me hanging out with Scooby-Dum and Scrappy-Doo

All the countless hours we spent
Watching Jimmy Olsen, Lois, Perry, and Clark Kent
I guess George Reeves wasn't bullet-proof after all
Oh Captain Kangaroo
They broke the Creepy Crawler mold after they made you
And Mr. Moose ran out of ping-pong balls

My Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots have seen better days
And Mom just went and threw my Archie comics away

I'm gonna cry if I can't find my View Master
Etch-a-Sketch me a pretty picture
Go Speed Racer go a little faster
I could hear the voices of my childhood
When I traded in my Close and Play for a new six-string guitar
I was straining to hear I was straining to reach them
But Stretch Armstrong couldn't stretch that far

I opened my blue toy box
And found a couple dead spiders and pair of old socks
My Batman costume doesn't seem to fit
All my Star Wars guys are gone
Except a headless Tusken Raider and the cryogenic Han
And Boba's still digesting in my Sarlacc pit

My NHL Slot Hockey's rusting underneath my bed
My Hungry Hungry Hippo's starving it's been years since he was fed

I can't believe it's been so long
Since I stayed up past my bedtime just to play a game of Pong
My Sit and Spin has got me in a whirl
Was it ten years ago
That I'd get up once a week to watch the Krofft Supershow
With Electra Woman and Dynagirl?

I can hear the Sleestaks pounding at my door
Since Puff the Magic Dragon ceased his mighty roar

I'm gonna cry if I can't find my View Master
Spirograph me a pretty picture
Go Speed Racer go a little faster
I could hear the voices of my childhood
When I traded in my Close and Play for a new six-string guitar
I was straining to hear I was straining to reach them
But Stretch Armstrong couldn't stretch that far
