lyrics

In Austin’s fair city
Where the parks are so pretty
I first played a phone game called Pokémon Go
I tracked Pidgey and Spearow
Through streets broad and ‘nearrow’
Crying “Jigglypuff!” “Pikachu!” “Seel!” and “Slowbro!”
Seel and Slowbro, Seel and Slowbro
Crying “Jigglypuff!” “Pikachu!” “Seel!” and “Slowbro!”

I walked with my iPhone
To pass the next milestone
To hatch all the eggs, and to level up slow
My phone tracked my progress
I started to obsess
Crying “Dragonite!”, “Gyrados!”, “Jinx!”, and “Hypno!”
Jinx and Hypno, Jinx and Hypno
Crying “Dragonite!”, “Gyrados!”, “Jinx!”, and “Hypno!”

I fought in gym battles
In all of my travels
To buy incubators and great balls to throw
With pokécoins plenty
I spent not a penny
Crying “Jolteon!” “Flareon!” “Eevee!” “Ditto!”
Eevee, Ditto, Eevee, Ditto
Crying “Jolteon!” “Flareon!” “Eevee!” “Ditto!”

Then raids did begin
To all my chagrin
For gath’ring a large group was difficult, oh
To catch legendaries
One can’t be solitary
Crying “Zapdos!” and “Moltres!” and “Articuno!”
Articuno, Articuno
Crying “Zapdos!” and “Moltres!” and “Articuno!”

Then research I did do
To help Willow find Mew
These side quests were fun, and XP he bestows
But Magikarp I must evolve?
That tested my resolve
Walking Magikarp ’til it becomes Gyrados
Becomes Gyrados, becomes Gyrados
Walking Magikarp ’til it becomes Gyrados

My plan will come to fruition
I’ll make it my mission
To reach level 40, not one point below
I’ll track Skitty and Swalot
And throw ultra balls a lot
Crying “Swablu!” and “Seviper!”, “Spoink!”, “Sealeo!”
Spoink, Sealeo, Spoink, Sealeo
Crying “Swablu!” and “Seviper!”, “Spoink!”, “Sealeo!”
