about

Yo! Champ in the making! Do you have what it takes to be a Pokemon master? There are 39 different Pokemon hidden within the lyrics of this song. As they say, you gotta catch 'em all!

As for the subject matter itself, this song is really just about a failed relationship. But that's not the point. The point is POKEMON!!!

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

lyrics

Smoking Weedle and I’m feeling Gloom
And I’m Koffing and Weezing and I don’t know what to do
Then my hopes Bellossom as she passes by
She reminds me of the Starmie sky

Gimmie a Chansey though I seem a bit Farfetch’d
I Heracross my heart that I’m better than the rest
All my life I think I’ve been Seaking Mew
Once I looked around the corner and I had a Pikachu

Though I’m kinda Oddish, she’s Exeggcute
Zubatter believe that she’s awfully Tentacool
Before I met her, I was just an Unown
But now I’m actually doing the Cubone

Gimmie a Chansey though I seem a bit Farfetch’d
I Heracross my heart that I’m better than the rest
All my life I think I’ve been Seaking Mew
Once I looked around the corner and I had a Pikachu

You shine like an Omastar plus you’re really smart
Let’s move to Paras and it will be Magikarp
We’ll Seel the deal and it’ll be just you and I
And I’ll take you out to dinner every Dragonite

But now I can’t deScyther the signs you’re giving me
You’re Horseaing around and there’s a secret up your sleeve
These thoughts are Onixpected and maybe we should part
Our life might be Houndoomed and it’s Machopping up my heart
Don’t Jynx it, it’s alright… and that is what I felt
But then when I discovered it I Togepi’d myself

Your Gastly secret made me feel Poliwrathed
You’re Mankeying with other Geodudes behind my back
She only Vulpix’d me for my money all along
And then in a Rapidash she was Porygon

Now I’m on the street smoking Weedle day again
And I’m feeling Krabby cause it feels like it’s the end
I can’t even think without getting all Machoke’d
When it comes to love I’m just a dopey dumb Slowpoke

Gimmie a Chansey though I seem a bit Farfetch’d
I Heracross my heart that I’m better than the rest
All my life I think I’ve been Seaking Mew
Once I looked around the corner and I had a Pikachu
