Pitfall Lyrics by MC Chris

#mcchrisisgoodmusic

2018

[Clip - Theme Song for Saturday Supercade]
Yes, it's Supercade time
Let's have some Supercade fun, fun, fun!


[Chorus]
Pitfall, big LOLs
Lick toads, trip balls
Quicksand, my jam
Gold bars in my hands

[Verse 1]
My name is Pitfall Harry. My life, it can be scary
Often falling down a pit. When I trip, it's legendary
Always running, something's coming and I jump it, then I plummet
Every jungle's filled with fortune or fatalities if you're flummoxed
That's why you gotta focus - jump at the right time
On an alligator head, got no choice and no vines
Look out for the barrels, Donkey Kong's off screen
Lookin' for that marijuana, smoke that green!
Get that gold, get that silver, get that shiny diamond ring
You won't like a cobra bite or a scorpion sting
Grab a torch and a whip then we'll torch in the whip
Then we'll go score some chicks, quick claw, get a grip
Quicksand likes to suck, tar pits like to swallow
Jungle's really rough but I'm a tough act to follow
Weekdays hella lame, all the same, really shitty
On the weekend, seekin' out the secrets of the ancient city, what?!

[Chorus]
Pitfall, big LOLs
Lick toads, trip balls
Quicksand, my jam
Gold bars in my hands
Pitfall, big LOLs
Lick toads, trip balls
Quicksand, my jam
Gold bars in my hands

[Verse 2]
Four million copies sold, bro, totally legit
It's '81 and Indiana Jones is the shit
Activision in its wisdom, yo, it fell for a pit
A rip off that would lift off, it was swell for a bit
No-No-No need to explain if you feign to wonder why
The designer David Crane graduated from DeVry
Was a hit at Atari 'till he went on safari
Got a Rari, then he partied, then the bubble burst, I'm sorry
Atari 26 was a hit for six years
Apple 2E made my dad switch gears
Too many ETs, where it's buried isn't clear
Atari 26, I guess it disappeared
Now if you look on eBay, you buy it for a grand
If you want the box, please, put up your hands
Realities of modern life are rife with strife and hatred
I miss shit being simple, button smashin' in the basement

[Chorus]
Pitfall, big LOLs
Lick toads, trip balls
Quicksand, my jam
Gold bars in my hands
Pitfall, big LOLs
Lick toads, trip balls
Quicksand, my jam
Gold bars in my hands

[Verse 3]
Behind the counter at Kay Bee, I see something I really need
Green box features a scene that was filmed inside my dreams
I see several lovely trees in some jungle overseas
I see adventurer avoiding obstacles with impossible ease
A treasure hunter swinging over the craziest lake
And Activision made it so there's a gradient wake
And ever since I played it, it is like mania, mate
Jumpin' over snakes makes me feel great in a way
Back in the day, screen grab was a camera with a flash
Take a picture of your high score and you might score a patch
You can put it with your patches on your jean jacket back
'cause you jumped over chasms like that candle jumper Jack
Activision got sold and the name got bought
Now they bring you Call of Duty where you might get shot
And, yes, I am distraught until they bring back Tony Hawk
Thank you, Activision, all that sitting by a box

[Chorus]
Pitfall, big LOLs
Lick toads, trip balls
Quicksand, my jam
Gold bars in my hands
Pitfall, big LOLs
Lick toads, trip balls
Quicksand, my jam
Gold bars in my hands
