lyrics

-Verse 1-
Switching to Turbo Boost.
Waking up Papa Smurf.
Listening to ELO.
The Greatest American Hero.
(Believe it or not)

I gotta phone home,
Because you remind me of the babe.
Shout, "Cowabunga, dude!"
Solving the Rubik's Cube.

-Chorus-
I believe I caught the Retro Virus.
I believe I caught the Retro Virus.

-Verse 2-
Watching girls on film.
Feeling hungry like the wolf.
Who broke the hyperdrive?
Laughing at Saturday Night Live.

-Chorus x2-

-Verse 3-
Where are you going, McFly?
Is there life on Mars?
Here in my car, I feel safest of all.
Hearing Billy say, "Catch my fall".

She blinded me with science,
With a highlighter-coloured appliance.
I need a hero, I wanna be tall.
You look scared - Who you gonna call?
(It's a neverending story)

-Repeat Chorus-

-Spoken Verse-
I pity the fool that stole my Cabbage Patch Kids!
Where's my Sega Master System?
It's the end of the world as we know it...

Get me Optimus Prime.
I need him to tell me the time.

Autobots...roll out!
