[Verse 1]
My, oh my, how the time has passed
Lt. Surge to the S.S. Anne
Fight Clefairy from all these Lass
To top percentage Rattata
We thought we'd become champions fast
Walking straight into taller grass
Professor stopped us in a flash
Turned right around back into Oak's lab

[Pre-Chorus]
See, we won't forget who we chose first
In that generation, on that 8-bit engine
See, we won't forget who we chose first
In that generation, the original region
That region, hey!

[Chorus]
Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
We'll find our way back into Kanto, hey!
Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
We'll find our way back into Kanto
[Verse 2]
So, here's to catching your first Pidgey
And learning how to use Bill's PC
A shocking win over Misty
To your final badge from Giovanni

[Pre-Chorus]
See, we won't forget who we chose first
In that generation, on that 8-bit engine
See, we won't forget who we chose first
In that generation, the original region
That region, hey!

[Chorus]
Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
We'll find our way back into Kanto, hey!
Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
We'll find our way back into Kanto

[Bridge]
Opponents losing, we're leveling up
Got badges for days
Kalos, Johto to Unova
We stay in the Hall of Fame
We run on that 8-bit engine
In that original region
We run on that 8-bit engine
In that original region
That region, hey!
[Chorus]
Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
We'll find our way back into Kanto, hey!
Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
We'll find our way back into Kanto, hey!
Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
We'll find our way back into Kanto

[Outro]
We'll find our way back into Kanto
We'll find our way back into Kanto
