I saw them on the TV back in '81,
A hundred blue guys living life and having fun,
I had the feeling the party's just begun.
Oh-ah-oh-ah...

And then they added new ones to the family,
Baby, the Smurflings, Wild, Grandpa, and ol' Nanny,
And even then they're still as funny as can be.
Oh-ah-oh-ah, before we knew it,
Oh-ah-oh-ah, they've gone and blew it.

Season 9 killed the Smurfs cartoon show.
Season 9 killed the Smurfs cartoon show.
That season came and broke my heart.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

And now we see that they're all traveling through time,
Meeting a string of Gargamels all down the line,
We'd had a feeling that something 'bout them's dying.
Oh-ah-oh-ah, we should have all known,
Oh-ah-oh-ah, they'd never make it home.

Season 9 killed the Smurfs cartoon show.
Season 9 killed the Smurfs cartoon show.
In my mind, and in my heart,
I think Hanna-Barbera's gone too far.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

Season 9 killed the Smurfs cartoon show.
Season 9 killed the Smurfs cartoon show.
In my mind, and in my heart,
I think Hanna-Barbera's gone too far.
The season came and broke my heart,
But are they to blame, or is it Peyo?

They were...the 80's cartoon stars.
