Did you ever hear?
Of that terrible year, way back before you were born
When Game Freak took a holiday, on the night before Pokemon Day

It was a year without a Pokemon
A Pokemon Day so Sad
It was a year without a Pokemon
The worst we've ever had!

Masuda woke up one day,
Feeling tuckered and gray
And this is what he said:
"I could sure use some rest, this game isn't the best"
And he yawned as he took to his bed
They'll be a year without a Pokemon,
I'm sure they won't miss me
They'll be a year without a Pokemon
In your Nintendo Console
And they slept through the year
As the months went on by
And the time was growing near
And the children, they cried
They thought Masuda had died
Every eye shed a Pikachu yellow tear
