[Verse 1] Fresh out the pipe, wiping soot off the overalls Red cap low, mustache thick when the kingdom calls I ain't a hero, man, I'm working class, fixing leaks But now I’m stomping Goombas and smashing up these bricks with beaks Hit the block, get the coin, watch the money stack Super Mushroom in my stomach, ain't no turning back I grow twice the size, now I’m looking down on you Squashing Koopa Troopas like I got some gum stuck on my shoe Piranha Plants snapping, trying to catch a bite I throw a fireball, turn the darkness into light I got the Star power, flashing, I’m invincible Saving Princess Peach, yeah, that’s just the principle. [Chorus] Level up, 1-Up, hear the coin ching Running through the castle just to do the right thing I’m dodging hammers, jumping gaps, moving at a fast pace "Sorry Mario, but your Princess in another place" Yeah, she’s in another place. Keep running. [Verse 2] Now we underground, blue bricks, darkness all around Buzzy Beetles on the ceiling, don't make a sound I see the green homie Yoshi waiting in the egg Hopped on his back, now the enemies have got to beg Eat ‘em up, spit ‘em out, yeah we clearing out the lane I’m sliding down the hills, ignoring all the pain Where is Luigi? Man, he’s shivering in the ghostly house I’m taking on the airships, quiet as a mouse Bullet Bills flying past my ear, that’s a close call Wall jump, back flip, standing on the tall wall I see the bridge, I see the lava, feel the heat rise Time to cut the rope and cut the King down to size. [Bridge] (Music breaks down to just the bass and square waves) Bowser on the throne. Spitting fire, throwing stone. But I got the agility. Tactical ability. Wait for the jump... Wait for the jump... NOW! Hit the axe! [Chorus] Level up, 1-Up, hear the coin ching Running through the castle just to do the right thing I’m dodging hammers, jumping gaps, moving at a fast pace Finally found the Peach, yeah, we won the race. Game over. [Outro] (Sound of sliding down a flagpole) (Fireworks sound effect) Just a plumber from Brooklyn, baby. Thank you so much for playing my game. Peace! (Fade out with the classic death sound slowed down)
