Suffer No Fools Lyrics (official romanization and translation)

P (translation):Small fish, stick to your bowl.
We're money makin', rakin',
takin' control.

P (translation):Watch this一
I'll show you kids
the art of diss!

F (translation):Listen一

P (translation):Step back! Don't need you hacks.

F (translation):I一

P (translation):We're glory houndin', poundin'一

F (translation):Wait your TURN!

F (translation):News for you, Princess一
you're not the boss here.
Don't waltz into our turf
expecting us to cheer!

P (translation):Where's your big buddy to help you pass this test?
Tuneless, too-stressed, true pests,
two goons making a mess!

F (translation):Yap-yap-yap, your jaws go
flap-flap-flap, but tell me,
who's backing you up?
Imaginary friends?

P (translation):Check behind一she's divine, one of a kind,
voice so fine, BIG mind!

F (translation):How nice for you that
you got your own grouper!

S (translation):Your haunting voice一there's no escape.
How nice it must be for your fans.

M (translation):You're far too kind! I love your vibe.
I can learn so much from your style.

S (translation):You remind me of my neighbor's little daughter...
What's that saying? "Octo see, Octo do."

M (translation):Glad you approve一your praise has left me moved.
Thanks to your notes, I'll find my groove!

S (translation):Oh, look at the time.
Isn't it getting late?

like this all night long.

P (translation):How's that? Had enough yet?!

Quotes

A new song featuring Off the Hook & Fire & Ice, "Suffer No Fools" drops as Splatfest battle music!
When Frye heard Off the Hook was having their 1st Splatsville concert, she got mad! Ignoring the starstruck Big Man, Frye & Shiver went to Off the Hook's green room for some words!

This off-the-cuff battle came about when Frye demanded to know, "You think you can play OUR town without going through us?!" Pearl retorted with, "If you got something to say, say it on stage!"
No Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass necessary for this taste of Off the Hook!
