LYRICS
When I was eight, dude...
I couldn't wait, dude...
To play this great new game called Mario Paint!
A title I wish every house had...
It came with a mouse and a mousepad!
(It was a big deal back then)
Artistic visions became decisions
No criticisms to work through
It tugs my heart strings
And that's just the start screen
Inside your art dreams await you
So make a bee
Make a Mii (Make a Mii)
Or make a symphony (arf meow meow meow meow)
Mario Paint, it ain't just quaint
It's a playdate where playmates don't nay-say what you say
Like an art class where you don't feel gay
Select brush size, swat some flies,
and then you realize...
Other games are not the same
It's a canvas to brandish outlandish things all day
Where a nerdy kid was safe to play
We were Mario Paintin'
Sketching and animatin'
Were we throwing a ball?
Were we outside at all?
Nope.
We were Mario Paintin'
All across the whole nation
And a generation started looking into their heart
Creating pieces of art
What an outlet for a kid experimenting with choice
Finding his creative voice
So whenever I spout off with words like mofo or taint
You can thank Mario Paint
(Cha cha cha)
Why did i have to be born in 98, why couldn't it have been 81?????
