I’m so old, I remember way back in the day, When the phones had cords and they’d tangle every way. We didn’t swipe right, we just spun that dial, Waited fifteen minutes for the internet to smile. And I’m so old, yeah, I’ll tell you what I know, We played Tic-Tac-Toe on that pound sign, bro. Three across, X marks the spot, Now kids call it hashtag, but that ain’t what we got. (Chorus) It was a pound sign, not a hashtag trend, Used it on the phone when you reached the end. Before TikTok, before going viral, All we had was payphones and the Farmer’s Almanac Bible. I’m so old, I thought AOL was cool, Floppy disks in my backpack on the way to school. Back when memes were just jokes we’d tell out loud, And selfies took a tripod to gather the crowd. Yeah, I’m so old, let me say it one more time, That hash symbol had a different rhyme. We’d cross the grid, try to block that line, Now it’s hashtags, selfies, and an endless timeline. (Chorus) It was a pound sign, not a hashtag trend, Used it on the phone when you reached the end. Before streaming shows on a glowing screen, We were kind, rewindin’ on VHS machines.
