[chorus]
It's going to be hard, today,
To focus on anything other than the Switch 2. (Switch 2)
It's going to be hard, today,
To make a game or even a plan of action. (no action)

It's going to be hard, today,
To not think of Nintendo and what they're gonna do. (What they gonna do)
It's going to be hard, today,
But let's hope the wait is worth it.
'cos if it's not, then it'll be depressing for all,
Who've been waiting for so long to see the brand new console,
I really hope that it'll be worth it. (will it all be worth it?)

(two, two!)

[break]

There's a lot of little projects that I oughta be working on.
(two two. here comes the Switch two.)
And I know that there are little itty bitty tweaks I should be doing.
(two two. here comes the Switch two.)
As I sit and wait for the YouTube stream,
There's a lot of little features that I might dream.
I hope the end result is great,
Or all the people waiting will be irate.

[interlude]

(two, two!)
Two
(two, two!)
Two two
(two, two!)
Two by two by two
(two, two!)
Two two two

(two, two!)
Two
(two, two!)
Two two
(two, two!)
Two by two by two
(two, two!)
Two two two

[bridge]
Every four or five years, there's usually new technology.
But it feels like it's forever since the last Switch. (How long has it been?)
We thought that something new would come around, five years ago.
But all we had was Covid, and a shortage of the chips. (It really wasn't pleasant)

The Switch Wait

Int. Dave's Living Room - Morning
[Dave is refreshing his browser repeatedly while Green sits on the couch]

Dave: Seven consoles out of two generations!
Green: You normally hate new consoles. Your history with gaming is rather minimal, other than these recent reviews, but they're all from the 80s.
Dave: Yeah, but think about it - when everyone upgrades, the old ones get cheaper!
Green: The old stuff's always the best.
Dave: Exactly! And I've worked out a system.
Green: And how does this system involve Lady Computer?
Dave: She's helping me track eBay prices!

[Lady Computer beeps protestingly]

Dave: What do you mean you're "busy with calculations"?
Green: Is she still doing those fractals?
Dave: No, she's supposed to be checking prices. Probably. Maybe.
Lady Computer: [displays picture of fractal]
Dave: Oh come on! This is important!
Green: More important than punched cards?
Dave: Don't be silly.

[Dave takes a sip of Coke and perks up]

Dave: Besides, I've got a backup plan!
Green: Which is?
Dave: Joe's computer shop might get some trade-ins.
Green: Does he even do game consoles?
Dave: Sure he does. Remember that time I tried to use the slot in the MegaDrive as a toaster?
Green: Oh yeah. I guess he does.
