Back when trees would never decay

Sugar canes were only used for books

There was only ever one type of tree

Until notch announced the 1.2

And then suddenly, around the world

Everyone got excited

Squids would be in minecraft 1.2.

The squids are completely useless

Just be glad it's them, not wolves

Spare a thought for the squids

When you build your waterfalls

You drown them, stab them, watch them die

What did they do to you?

Spread the message around the world

Squids are people too (oh yeah)

Squids are people too.

When I started to play minecraft

Squids had already been introduced

They were boring, slow and not that easy to kill

And the loot was, frankly, not that good

But then you have to think about it

Nobody loves them

How must it feel to be so alone?

The squids are completely useless

Just be glad it's them, not wolves

Spare a thought for the squids

When you build your waterfalls

You drown them, stab them, watch them die

What did they do to you?

Spread the message around the world

Squids are people too (oh yeah)

Squids are people too.

The squids know there's someone there who loves them

Spread the message out to the world.

Somewhere, deep in the ocean

Some squids congregate on the seafloor

When a minecrafter comes down to see them

They immediately expect the worst to come

But then the stranger starts to give

The squids' cakes and pork chops

Suddenly, they don't feel so alone.

The squids are completely useless

Just be glad it's them, not wolves

Spare a thought for the squids

When you build your waterfalls

You drown them, stab them, watch them die

What did they do to you? (yeah, what did they do to you?)

Spread the message around the world

Squids are people too (no, they're not!)

Squids are people too.
