I made silly lyrics for one of the original Japanese Pokémon theme songs, "The Greatest - Everyday!"

Check them out!

Unlike the Bad Apple!! translation, I view this as much more of a silly side-thing that I'm just showing for perusal purposes. How's the lyrics?? Are they okay??

The Lyrics:

(Copy-pasted here for searchability.)

HA! HA! HA!!
HA! HA! HA!!

Battle-battle even if it never stops, that
Fire-fire in you will never go out (Oh yeah?)
Shaking-shaking dizzy and you’re on the edge?
Just swing an Iron Tail, and keep smiling!

(Everything is Good!!)
OH!! You’ve got Hidden Power
(Never Give Up!!)
Come catch the Tailwind and we’ll make it to the top, let’s

Role Play till we make it, and we’ll Hustle like mad,
We’re always moving forward everyday!
Through the woods and the waves, every peak that we climb
Feels like the best thing ever!! (The best!!)
Friendship, Guts, and love on our side,
Evolution happens every day!
It’s the best, it’s the best, it’s the best, never rest—

We make a good combination!
Perfect communication!
Always on high tension!
WOW WO shalalala, we’re gonna be alright

I feel a good vibration!
Extend my congratulations!
We’ll start a revolution!
Just follow the path to be the greatest Pokémon Master!

Heart-pounding adventures lie just up ahead, this
Bouncing-bouncing rhythm tells me GOGOGO!!
Wishy-washy, can’t act till disaster strikes,
But if we stay Plus-charged we’ll always keep on WINNING!!

(We Can Do It!!)
We can overcome it all
(Endless Road)
Partings and meetings, I hope that they never end, they’re

Shocking and spark’ling miracles all,
Dull moments never happen anyday!
From the dawn till the dusk, all that time spent with you
Makes for the best day ever!! (The best!!)
Sun can shine and rain can pour and wind can blow too,
There is always something different everyday!
I want more, I want more, I want more, keep it up—

Let’s start with concentration!
Every move’s a collaboration!
A fighting spirit escalation!
WOW WO shalalala, now let’s take it from the top

Your eyes tell you tales of non-fiction!
And we’re still just at the introduction!
Fill the pages with your imagination!
And don’t forget your dream to be a Pokémon Master!

We make a good combination!
Perfect communication!
Always on high tension!
WOW WO shalalala, we’re gonna be alright

I feel a good vibration!
Extend my congratulations!
We’ll start a revolution!
I know that we can be the greatest Pokémon Masters!
