* The line "Our motivation is rising" is a play on words, as the word for "rising" is also the word for "forest", and the video shows a forest in the background.
** The line "Hope is facing toward us" is also a play on words, as the word for "facing" is similar to the word "peel", and they are shown peeling bananas in the video.

やっとアジトにたどりつく
ぼろぼろロケット団
今日の敗因ニャんだろう？
はい！　反省会はじめーっ！

ざっと振り返ってみましょ
今日の戦いを
あそこでああすりゃよかったニャ・・・・
はい！　反省会おわりーっ！

くよくよタイムなんで　５秒でじゅうぶん
そんなことより　明日のための　ごはんです！

やる気が　もりもりもり　もりあがる
希望が　むくむくむく
前向きロケット団！

（ソソソ、ソーナンス！！）

もっとわれらに出番を！
長目のセリフを！
ついでにタイトル変更を！
はい！　“すすめロケット団”

きっといつかは主役に！
そしてスーパースター！
そのうえ国民栄誉賞！
はい！　すすめロケット団

ささやかで控えめな　われらの望み
ファンのみなさん　どうぞ応援　よろしく！

明るい未来をつくる　ロケット団
あなたの心の恋人　らりるれロケット団！

やる気が　もりもりもり　もりあがる
希望が　むくむくむく
前向きロケット団！

（ソソソ、ソーナンス！！）

パッパパラパラパラパラパラ！

P-Q-R-S-Team Rocket!

We finally make it back to our hideout
A worn out Team Rocket
Why were we defeated today?
Okay! Let the review meeting begin!

Let's glance back
At today's fight
We should have done this when that happened....
Okay! Review meeting adjourned!

Five seconds is enough moping time
What's more important is food for tomorrow!

Our motivation is rising, rising, rising, rising up!
Hope is facing, facing, facing towards us
Facing-forward Team Rocket!

(Wobbo wobbo, Wobbuffet!)

Give us more scenes!
And longer lines!
While you're at it, change the title!
Yes! "Go Forth, Team Rocket!"

Someday we'll surely be the lead roles!
And then we'll be superstars!
On top of that, we'll have the People's Honour Award!
Yes!　Go forth, Team Rocket!

Those are our meager, humble wishes
All our fans, please cheer for us!

Team Rocket is creating a bright future!
You can't live without us, P-Q-R-S Team Rocket!

Our motivation is rising, rising, rising, rising up!
Hope is facing, facing, facing towards us
Facing-forward Team Rocket!

(Wobbo wobbo, Wobbuffet!)

Pappa parapara paraparapara
Pappa para pappaa!
Pappa parapara paraparapara
P-Q-R-S Team Rocket!
Facing-forward Team Rocket!!

(Wobbuffet!!)

Trivia

  • The line "Our motivation is rising" is a play on words, as the word for "rising" is also the word for "forest", and the video shows a forest in the background.
    • The line "Hope is facing toward us" is also a play on words, as the word for "facing" is similar to the word "peel", and they are shown peeling bananas in the video.
