Intro:
Yo I’m tired of all these Noughties Kids man…
Claiming to be 90s Kids
Like just coz you were born in the 90s doesn’t make you a 90s Kid
I’m a 90s Kid. I know what it was like.
You weren’t there man… YOU WEREN’T THERE!
Verse 1:
Born in the 80s but raised in the 90s
In front of the TV’s the place you would find me
On Saturday morning channel flicking
Between SMTV and Live N Kicking
Back when you used to have to wait for a show
Before the advent of Netflix and YouTube
I know every generation says the same thing
But they don’t make ‘em like they used to
I grew up watching Saved by the Bell
Before the cast all had raging hormones
Before Jessie went on to make Showgirls
And before Screech starred in a porno
I was watching Boy Meets World
Mr Cooper and Sister Sister
And if I remember correctly
The Teenage Turtles I liked were Heroes not Ninjas
I feel sorry for the kids today
Coz they don’t know the meaning of real animation
And even though Ghostbusters and Thundercats got remade
They’re just cheap imitations
Whatever happened to the real cartoons
Like Ren and Stimpy and Captain Planet
The Rescue Rangers and Burt Racoon
And dun-dun-dun-dun-dun Inspector Gadget
Even presenters and mascots were better
Give me Andi Peters or Mr Blobby
But I’m sorry when it came to Jimmy Saville
Even back then I could tell he was dodgy
Sometimes I just wanna go back to the days
When Will lived with Carlton and Phil Banks
Before Maggie shot Mr Burns
When Maude was alive and Smithers was still black
Verse 2:
I’m not a 90s baby or a 90s man
I’m a 90s kid that liked 90s jams
Before you could download tunes to your hard drive
When you had to buy ’em from Woolworths or Our Price
I was alive in the Golden Era of hip hop
But was too young for it at the time
I’d love to say I was a fan of Biggie and 2pac
But I wasn’t till after they died
Coz I was too young to listen to Snoop Dogg
Dr Dre and the Wu Tang Clan
But I was a fan of the Outhere Brothers
Babylon Zoo and that tune Scat Man
And I remember in the school discos
Where Snow Informer was always spinning
Way before we knew what it meant
When we thought “Licky boom boom down” meant rimming
I never drank Alize
Had Versace shades or wore Moschino
But you might have seen me with a Panda Pop
In my Naff Co jacket and Spliffy jeans though
I didn’t know about ecstasy
I thought Mitsubishis were a type of car first
Coz the only sweets I was eating
were Opal Fruits before they were Starburst
Chorus (x2):
This ones for all of my 90s kids all my 90s guys and 90s chicks
Who rocked 90s clothes and 90s kicks watched 90s TV and 90s flicks
This ones for all of my 90s kids who liked 90s music and 90s hits
And if you weren’t born before ’96 you don’t know what the 1990s is
Verse 3:
I was a 90s kid and a 90s gamer
Back when it was still Nintendo or Sega
Way before Playstation and X-Box
When your only choice was a plumber or a hedgehog
Back then if you were stuck on a part that you could’t get past
And you needed an answer
You couldn’t just go online
You had to go and ask Patrick Moore on Gamesmaster
Back when toys were meant to be played with
Not Ebayed or stored in a basement
Pogs Boglins Mighty Max and
Monster in my Pocket were just some of my favourites
Ring Raiders and Micro Machines
These were the toys of my generation
And this is back when WWF still stood for
World Wrestling Federation
So don’t claim you’re a 90’s kid
If all you are is a 90’s baby
Coz to be a real 90’s kid
You need to have be born in the 1980’s
But pretty soon the tables will turn
And before you know it I’ll be in my forties
And it’ll be your turn to write a song
About what it was like growing up in the Noughties
… But ’til then…
Chorus (x1):
This ones for all of my 90s kids all my 90s guys and 90s chicks
Who rocked 90s clothes and 90s kicks watched 90s TV and 90s flicks
This ones for all of my 90s kids who liked 90s music and 90s hits
And if you weren’t born before ’96 you don’t know what the 1990s is
Outro:
Yeah! All my real 90s Kids this one’s for you!
But to all my non-90s Kids please don’t take offence
I’m just playing around
And to tell you the truth
I’m just jealous how young you lot are.
