lyrics

Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep
Uh-hoh uh-hoh

It doesn’t matter where you are in the big brown land
What circles you mix in or who understands
There’s always one subject that gets them involved
More than sports or politics or even rock ’n’ roll
It’s does anyone remember The Mysterious Cities Of Gold?

Cos we’re
Generation ABC
Glued to the telly in the late eighties
Spinning out to the tunnel in Dr Who
Kiddy karaoke to Peter Combe yeah

Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep
Uh-hoh uh-hoh

Roger Ramjet used to pop a few too many pills
And Worzel Gummidge was off his head it used to make me ill
And Sooty was so cute but one episode he got banned
Cos’ it contained a shower scene and Sooty was just a hand on

Generation ABC
Quality programming kept me off the streets
Degrassi Junior High and Zit Remedy
BTN used to make me scream

Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep
Uh-hoh uh-hoh

Mr Squiggle was taken off the air after it left a kid half dead
He tried to turn his TV upside down and it landed on his head
And then there was that line guy who’s quite hard to explain
He was drawn in white on a green background and he used to come on and say
Mmmmmmbaaah! Hase esu me be su da?

Yeah, anyway…
Eden Gaha was the quizmaster on a little show called Vidiot
He made the pairs on Double Dare look like a pack of idiots
The Afternoon Show made afternoons glow weekdays at four thirty
Hosted by James Valentine he made it cool to be nerdy on

Generation ABC
Can’t go to the toilet it’s commercial free
Penfold off Danger Mouse looks like our P.M.
Goodie goodie yum yum yeah it never ends

Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep
Uh-hoh uh-hoh
Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep
Uh-hoh uh-hoh

Today’s song was brought to you by the Bedroom Television Workshop
It was brought to you by the number two ah ah ah ah
And the letters
ABC
