about

A song about science fiction before the 1940s

lyrics

Science fiction by gaslight
Before the golden age
The Time Machine by HG Wells
So let's turn the page

Before the golden age
Before the golden age
I used to read science fiction
Written before the golden age

Science fiction in the pulps
Before the golden age
Francis Flagg and Neil R Jones
Let's read another page

Before the golden age
Before the golden age
I used to read science fiction
Written before the golden age

Flash Gordon in black and white
On the silver screen
Doctor Zarkov and Dale Arden
Ming the Merciless looks so mean

Astounding Stories of Super Science
Before the golden age
Amazing Stories Quarterly
Let's read another page

Before the golden age
Before the golden age
I used to read science fiction
Written before the golden age
