Whatever Happened to Pong? - Frank Black

My brother and me used to play it down at a bar

Taking money from guys more used to the playing of cards

Paddle the paddle to side to the side

To the side to the paddle the paddle

Paddle the paddle to side to the side

Pong

Ball in the machine

Now virtually everyone’s singing a popular song

Yeah, but still I believe in the excellent joy of the Pong

To the side to the side to the paddle the paddle

Paddle the paddle to side to the side

To the side to the side to the paddle the paddle

Pong

Ball in the machine

Now if they take it H. G. Wells

Well I’ll be on the first flight

To a time before the Kong

Whatever happened to Pong?

To the side to the side to the paddle the paddle

Paddle the paddle to side to the side

To the side to the side to the paddle the paddle

Pong

Ball in the machine
