"It's Mario!"
lyrics by Benjamin Newman
ttto: the theme from Super Mario Bros. by Koji Kondo

Bursting out of the pipes, it's...

/: G - - C / G - D - :/

Mario, our hero, but
Who would have thought that he'd be a plumber?
But for him, King Koopa would
Turn us to stone -- that would be a bummer!

	/ G - C - / G - C D / 1st / Bb AG - - /

	Koopa's evil minions patrolling the land,
	Go ahead and give them a stomp!
	Watch out for the traps in the path, because the
	Road is long!

	Bash another brick from below with your hand,
	See the mushroom sprout from the top:
	It's nutritious and it'll help you grow up
	Big and strong!

		/ C - G - / / C - Em - / D - - - /

		Kick that turtle shell, hard as you can
		Give those Goombas a whack!
		But keep an eye out for the lay of the land
		'Cause that shell could always bounce back (from the...)

Pipes galore, like flowerpots --
Look out, those things have teeth like piranhas!
Up and down, just don't get caught
Better be quick or you'll be a goner!

			/ G - C - / D7 - C G / 1st / D7 - G - /

			All this land with danger is filled
			Run, duck and jump and try not to get killed
			Even if you're clever and skilled
			You still might fall into a bottomless pit

			That's your life, but it's not the end
			Dust yourself off and come try it again
			One more time, don't give up, my friend
			You'll never succeed if you quit!

		Make your way to the top of the stairs
		Hoist the banner to show
		You've won one battle with hardly a care --
		Thirty-one more to go!  (So...)

			Carry on with joy in your heart
			Knowing this journey was only the start
			But you'll do fine, you're strong and you're smart
			Hey, you're the best plumber we know!  (Mario!)
