The Arcade

8-bit figures small and wide,

Some to play and some to ride

Just line up your quarters and yell “This will be an all-nighter”,

When you play Classic Street Fighter

At the back of the arcade you’ll find Donkey Kong,

Unless you choose to play Tron or back-and-forth Pong

For the gamers of old and new

We have just the game for you

From Q*Bert to the Mario Bros,

In the arcade you’ll find many rows

Are you an action fan?

Then you should try Pac-Man

Don’t mind a quick hopper?

You should try out Frogger

You can play as Mega Man or Link,

When you’re next in line and the guy playing exclaims, “Ah this stinks!”

You can join in competitions,

Of Mortal Kombat in High-Definition

As the arcade closes up shop,

Be sure to play Galaga the next time you stop
