Saturday Morning Cartoons (5AM Version)

Lyrics

Power on, the glow hits my face Big hair, big dreams, nothing in the way He-Man's flexing, Turtles fight Sippin' sugar milk in Saturday morning light

Didn't care what day it was Just give me Cap'n Crunch and fuzz Every episode calling out to me Speakers blown on my CRT

5 a.m., the volume's up so loud I'm lost in the magic of colours, shapes and sound All I needed was cereal and a spoon And a little dose of Saturday morning cartoons

Zords combine and villains flee Pikachu's right there with me Sonic zooming, Dexter's lab This is the most fun that I've ever had

Blanket fort, my battle base CRT glow on my face Life was loud, the rules were loose Cartoon logic, no excuse

5 a.m., the volume's up so loud All I needed was cereal and a spoon And a little dose of Saturday morning cartoons

About this song

A sleepier, before-sunrise return to cereal bowls, glowing screens, and the ritual of waiting for Saturday morning to begin.

The 5AM Version keeps the original cartoon-memory lyrics but shifts the atmosphere toward the quiet anticipation before the house and television fully wake up.
