The Lyrics
There's just one subject you couldn't take at any college or university...
Heard about an arcade
Southwest of Harlem
Q*Bert's gotta be there
But you gotta call him
Even the soldiers
need a break sometimes
Listen to the sounds, y'all
it'll unwind your mind
No intoxocation
Unless you see what I see
Playing hot & sweaty
right in front of me
Call it what you want
I'm gonna call it how it be
This is just another one of God's gifts
Arcade-ology
Keep the arcade open
Just like I told ya
Kick a old school joint
for the retro soldiers
Arcade-ology
Wish I had a quarter
For everytime you say
Don't you miss the feeling
the classics gave ya
back in the day?
Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man
Qix, Marble Madness
Breakout, Space Ace
Tron's gonna take you higher
Lots of friends and quarters
can make a 4-player jam
Take your pick
An upright or cocktail?
If it ain't Snake Pit or Gyruss or Gorf
Know what? They're losin'
'Cause we got a Ph. D. in advanced Joystick movin'
Keep the arcade open
Just like I told ya
Kick an old school joint
for the retro soldiers
Arcade-ology
Southwest of Harlem
Q*Bert's gotta be there
But you gotta call him
Even the soldiers
need a break sometimes
Listen to the sounds, y'all
it'll unwind your mind
No intoxocation
Unless you see what I see
Playing hot & sweaty
right in front of me
Call it what you want
I'm gonna call it how it be
This is just another one of God's gifts
Arcade-ology
Keep the arcade open
Just like I told ya
Kick a old school joint
for the retro soldiers
Arcade-ology
Wish I had a quarter
For everytime you say
Don't you miss the feeling

Good parody, but too similar to the original lyrics. But good effort, that was a hard sond to parody, I've tried, it never got to amiright though.
I agree with genius head - Excellent effort. A parody is properly done with ones own original words for the song - anything less detracts from the work, and leaves it unfinished. Keep it up - your potential shines through in the work you have posted thus far.
