The Lyrics
La-ra-da-la-ra-da-la
la-ra-da-la-ra-da-la-dee
Talking 'bout you and me
and the games people played
Oh the games people play now
are different from days gone by
Some are classic, but most are 'ciao'
and my kids don't know them
We used to play them for hours
Chess with kings, pawns and towers
Bridge, canasta, they were ours
As was backgammon too
La-ra-da-la-ra-da-la
la-ra-da-la-ra-da-la-dee
Talking 'bout you and me
and the games people played
Oh we played the Monopoly
Slew the monsters in the D&D
And the Rolemaster RPG
was our favourite game
Computer games we too did play
Pac-Man, Zaxxon you can all name
But the of action games of today
they're all shoot, kill and maim
La-ra-da-la-ra-da-la
la-ra-da-la-ra-da-la-dee
Talking 'bout you and me
and the games people played
Then there was the Warhammer
with those knights, they were slammer
and the High Elves with glamous
and the dwarfs, Chaos, Orcs
Some those games are familiar
some different, some similar
But the console game-liars
seems most are but dorks
La-ra-da-la-ra-da-la
la-ra-da-la-ra-da-la-dee
Talking 'bout you and me
and the games people played
Repeat Chorus
Look around tell me what you see
What's happening to you and me
Look back in the history
And remember what we played
Do you remember all the RPGs
Board games and the figurines
Or remember the arcadies?
What do you play now today?
La-ra-da-la-ra-da-la
la-ra-da-la-ra-da-la-dee
Talking 'bout you and me
and the games people played
la-ra-da-la-ra-da-la-dee
Talking 'bout you and me
and the games people played
Oh the games people play now
are different from days gone by
Some are classic, but most are 'ciao'
and my kids don't know them
We used to play them for hours
Chess with kings, pawns and towers
Bridge, canasta, they were ours
As was backgammon too
La-ra-da-la-ra-da-la
la-ra-da-la-ra-da-la-dee
Talking 'bout you and me
and the games people played
Oh we played the Monopoly
Slew the monsters in the D&D
And the Rolemaster RPG

Pac-Man, Zaxxon you can all name

Nice one Susanna- 555! Growing up we used to have Boardgame night. Was cool until Atari came along!
