Lyrics[]
Gumball: Have you heard about my town?
It's called Elmore!
There's a robot, a peanut,
Banana named Joe!
And Carrie, who's scary!
She's an emo!
There's Lazy Larry who works in the store!
Fervidus Pizza, the bank, the mall!
We've got the Robinsons who love to row!
Hector rides the bus to school
But no one knows just how he does!
Tobias, so lame,
With words like "ciao!"
My bully, a T-Rex
Gotta run now
Dad doesn't work,
He's home all day!
He's got the time
So take it away!
Richard: Yo, yo, the name is Richard,
So listen to my rhymes!
I practiced in the mirror
Maybe seven hundred times!
I'm a lyrical master,
I gotta break it down
Something, something, something
And this tie is brown!
Gumball: Now you met
Some people we know!
Sorry to say,
It's time to go!
All this! All this!
All of this in town,
Elmore! Elmore!

First line was good though.
Trivia[]
- Jacob Hopkins did the voice of Gumball on this music video, as confirmed on his Twitter.[1] This marks the first time he has been the voice of Gumball, following Logan Grove's departure from the show because of him hitting puberty at the age of fifteen.
- When it was uploaded to Elmore Stream-It, fifteen seconds were removed from the original video, most likely to make the clip the correct length for TV broadcasting.
- This is the first song that was not shown on television in America. Instead, it was shown only on YouTube, Dailymotion, Twitter, Facebook, Twitch, and Vimeo. It is a "Direct-to-Websites" song. However, the song airs in France in the "CN Surprise" block.
- There was going to be an extended version of the song, but it was cancelled for unknown reasons.
- There is one point in the song where Gumball mentions that Hector rides the bus; “The Night” later contradicts this.
