The Ballad of Flappy Bird

Read to the tune of Journey's Don't Stop Believin'

---

Just a yellow bird Flappin’ in a lonely world He took a green warp pipe Onto the App Store Just a small town dev Lookin’ for some extra cred He took a green warp pipe Onto the App Store

Suddenly a download boom Everybody seems confused But for nothing they can share his flight It goes on and on and on and on

Copies lurking Up and down the Top Free List But they aren’t really

Flappy Bird

Mobile gamers Livin’ just to find distraction Flappin’ their way through those pipes

Sportin’ ads to pay the bills People start to have their fill There are stirrings of shady reviews And cloned gameplay Some were nice Some were rude Some decided to exclude Oh the drama never ends It goes on and on and on and on

Haters lurking Up and down the RSS feeds Their anger is the Final straw Flappy Bird is Pulled off the App Store rather fast And now it’s up on eBay

Don’t stop believin’ Hold on to that feelin’ Flappy players Don’t stop believin' Hold on to that feelin’ It’s still on your account
