Folks say to be the very best…
You’ve gotta travel cross the land,
But I’m happy here at pretty good…
Just out walking with my friends.
So you can fly from coast to coast…
For all Niantic’s events.
But my destiny’s here in Tennessee…
My pokedex in hand.
You run your laps chasing licktungs in Providence,
And you arc your throws for electabuzz in Saint Louis,
But when you’re lost in Boston seekin’ Pokestops, boo hoo!
We’ll all still be spinning them up on Rocky Top, it’s true!
While you can race to catch em all…
And fall flat on your face,
We’ll hatch our togepis here in Tennessee,
At our own pre-destined pace.
We don’t need tangelas from Las Angeles…
If you’re there chasin charizard,
You’re making your life way too hard,
Clutching garlic, pounding pavement,
Down ventura boulevard.
We don’t need nidoqueens from down New Orleans.
I hate to rain on solo you,
But parades need a willing crewe,
All those squirtles on St Charles,
Saw you wandring and withdrew!
While you can race to catch em all…
And fall flat on your face,
We’ll hatch our togepis here in Tennessee,
At our own pre-destined pace.
We don’t need lapras from Minneapolis,
Or Pellippers from Mississippi,
There’s enough wheedles on Monteagle,
We could evolve a swarm of beedrill,
There’s enough snubbull, down in Shelbyville,
We could team a sled with Granbull!
We don’t want porygon from out in Oregon.
Or any pikachus from up in Massachusettes.
Sorry, Professor Oklahoma,
We’ll raid gyms in Tullahoma.
Sorry, Pokecoin Palooka,
We’ll hatch on hikes in Chattanooga.
While you can race to catch em all…
And fall flat on your face,
We’ll hatch our togepis here in Tennessee,
At our own pre-destined pace.
