I remember drawing Scooby Doo In the margins of my notebooks 'Til class was done. And I'd visit Disneyland And think Chip and Dale and Tigger Had all the fun. And the Banana Splits and Muppet Show Are what I watched on TV And I dreamed some day that I'd do that too. 'Cause I was Furry when Furry wasn't cool.
I remember finding others just like me On Furrymuck and IRC And Tapestries. And the only way to see my friends Was to attend Confurence Or Confurence East. And the Sci-Fi crowd would shun us 'Cause we didn't quite fit in. Now everybody's trying to be What we were way back when. We were Furry when Furry wasn't cool.
Oh, we were Furry when Furry wasn't cool.
Yeah, we were Furry and I'm proud of that Old School.
Well, they say we're close-minded And we're stuck in our ways But we're the ones who paid all our dues. 'Cause we were Furry when Furry wasn't cool.
Now the fandom's hit the mainstream But I think it's kind of sad That we've become the trendy way To piss off Mom and Dad 'Cause we were Furry when Furry wasn't cool.
Yeah, we were Furry when Furry wasn't cool.
Yeah, I'm still Furry and best friends still are too.
Oh, well, ain't it a shame that we get a bad name From these bandwagon jumpers who act like tools 'Cause we were Furry when Furry wasn't cool.
And I'll still be Furry when Furry's no longer cool.
