Devin Ian Schramm - Nostalgia (The Gameboy Song) Lyrics

"Yo, homie! Remember how we used to play Gameboy?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, what if I were to write a song about it?"
"Well, let's see what you got"
"Ok then"
SpongeBob, Donkey Kong, Mario, Nicktoons
So many games I could write into this tune
Life was just so much easier back then
Now I sit alone with my paper & my pen
Pac-Man, Pokémon, Legend of Zelda
Those were the days when I would sing a-cappella
I crave nostalgia on a daily basis
I don't wanna grow up
Let's go back to the basics
Clearly, I remember playing games after school
Every day, after homework, felt like I was so cool
Everything was so much simpler back then
So take me back to all my memories way back when
Sitting in the summer, on the bench at the park
Playing Madagascar & Mario Kart
Oh, what I'd give to be young once more
Growing up and growing old is such a freaking bore
SpongeBob, Donkey Kong, Mario, Nicktoons
So many games I could write into this tune
Life was just so much easier back then
Now I sit alone with my paper & my pen
Pac-Man, Pokémon, Legend of Zelda
Those were the days when I would sing a-cappella
I crave nostalgia on a daily basis
I don't wanna grow up
Let's go back to the basics, let's go back to the basics
In act 2, I started playing Crash Bandicoot
I went out in the freezing rain wearing my rubber boots
I wish that I could go back to the good times
Now getting what I want just seems so difficult sometimes
And I don't care about no intricate cadence
If anybody asks, I'm just keeping it basic
Maybe I need to find new ways to enjoy life, set aside all the frustration & the strife
Then I'll revisit all the games I used to love
Then someday, I'll be flying high up above
Yeah, I'll be flying high up above, let's do it
SpongeBob, Donkey Kong, Mario, Nicktoons
So many games I could write into this tune
Life was just so much easier back then
Now I sit alone with my paper & my pen
Pac-Man, Pokémon, Legend of Zelda
Those were the days when I would sing a-cappella
I crave nostalgia on a daily basis
I don't wanna grow up
Let's go back to the basics
"Wow Devin, that was such a cool song!"
"Thanks homie!"
"You know, life is great right now, I feel like playing some Gameboy"
"What do you say I challenge you in Donkey Kong?"
"Sounds great, let's do it!"
"Awesome!"

"Yo, homie! Remember how we used to play Gameboy?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, what if I were to write a song about it?"
"Well, let's see what you got"
