“Part of Gen Con” (Parody of “Part of Your World”)

All lyrics written by Cindy. Video/audio recording & editing by Collin.

Lyrics:

Look at this shelf isn’t it neat?

Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?

Wouldn’t you think I’m the girl,

The girl who has every game?

Look at this room, game nights untold

How many boxes can one Kallax hold?

Lookin’ around here you’d think

(Sure) she’s got everything!

I’ve got abstracts and farming aplenty

I’ve got space themes and Westerns galore.

(You want Ticket to Ride? I’ve got plenty!)

But who cares? No big deal. I want more!

I want to be where the people are

I want to see, want to see ‘em playin’

Visiting food trucks to (whad’ya call it) oh - eat!

Demo-ing games would be so much fun

Playing the hotness and preview copies,

When will they hit the (what’s that word again?) street?

There where they play, there where it’s fun

There where they hide all day from the sun

In the AC, wish I could be part of Gen Con

What would I do if I went to the city of Indy?

What would I play within one day in the game hall?

Betcha Steph knows which games will blow,

And she’ll have all the best suggestions.

Try out this game, that one’s real lame.

Come on let’s go!

I’m ready to know what the vendors know.

Ask ‘em my questions and get some answers.

How does this game work and what is the (what’s the word?) theme?

When’s it my turn? It’s such a shame,

Not to explore that hall full of games?

Onto Indy, wish I could be part of Gen Con!
