The Super Mario Bros Theme Has Lyrics [VIDEO]

Like many folks my age, a plethora of my time in the late 80's was spent playing Super Mario Bros. Even in this age of ever-closer-to-real-life-graphics, the 8-bit fun of the Nintendo Entertainment System never gets old.

One of the most enduring theme songs of all time is that of Super Mario Bros. Instantly recognizable, often remade. But did you know it fricking has LYRICS?!

If you can't understand the girl singing in the video above, the lyrics to the Super Mario Bros. Theme are as follows:

Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running

Go save Princess Peach! Go!

Today, full of energy, Mario runs

Today, full of energy, jumping!

Today, full of energy, searching for coins

Today, keep going, Mario!

Get a mushroom – it’s Super Mario!

Get a flower – it’s Fire Mario!

Goomba! Troopa! Buzzy Beetle! Beat them all!

Mario is always full of energy and strong!

Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running

Go and beat the Koopa tribe, go!

Today, full of energy, Mario runs

Today, full of energy, jumping!

Today, full of energy, searching for coins

Today, keep going, Mario!

Get a star – become invincible!

Quickly, go save Princess Peach!

Lakitu! Blooper! Cheep Cheep! Beat them all!

Mario is always full of energy and strong!

Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running

He’s made it to the castle and gets fireworks!

Lightly sidestepping the Hammer Bros.

Show the last of your power, Mario!

It’s been a long journey but it’s nearly at an end

You’ve done it, you’ve done it! You’ve defeated Bowser!

Princess Peach says “Thank you”

Mario’s got a great big heart!

Mario’s adventure is over for now, but

Mario’s dream lives forever…

Weird? Yes. Let's go sing karaoke!
