The Magikarp Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Totally pathetic, unreliable
Known throughout the world
for being super weak
Maybe in ancient times
it was really strong
That’s what the rumors say
but they’re probably wrong
But now it’s so weak
the weakest in the land
So weak that it’s sad
really really sad
The weak Pokémon
that’s you, Magikarp
But though you are the weakest
still you’ve won my heart
Oh, weak Pokémon
my love for you is strong
Honestly, it’s magical
you’ve survived this long
All it does is jump and splash
jump and splash around
It splashes up whole mountains
and all the way back down
Why jump? What’s the point
when nobody cares?
It uses Splash in battle
Nothing happens
Jumping and splashing
every single day
Until Pidgeotto
carries it away
The jumping Pokémon
that’s you, Magikarp
Although your moves are pointless
still you’ve won my heart
Oh, splashing Pokémon
my love for you is strong
Honestly, it’s magical
you’ve survived this long
Wherever you go fishing
it’s the first you’ll catch
Even with an Old Rod
you’ll soon have quite a batch
Cast off in a river
or a puddle, or the sea
Anywhere your hook is
Magikarp will be
The slightest current
will carry it away
Anyplace the river bends
that's where they all stay
A nibble on the line
that's you, Magikarp
Right back in you go
because you’ve won my heart
Thought I caught a bite
but it’s Magikarp
I could never eat you
because you’ve won my heart
Its Shiny form
sparkles golden in the light
But don't be deceived
It's still Magikarp inside
Evolving into Gyarados
makes it super strong
Waiting to reach that level
takes way too long
Did you just buy one
at the store yesterday?
Sorry, there’s no refunds
Please go away
The pity Pokémon
that’s you, Magikarp
Although they think you’re worthless
still you’ve won my heart
The pity Pokémon
Magikarp, it’s true
At least your lowly ranking
means nothing to you
Beloved Pokémon
that’s you, Magikarp
Somehow you’ve turned weakness
into a kind of art
You’re my Pokémon
Magikarp, my dream
Six matching Magikarp
that’ll be my team
Beloved Pokémon
that's you, Magikarp
Magical and special
of course you’ve won my heart
The greatest Pokémon
Magikarp, it’s true
And that’s why I’ve written
this love song just for you!
