Mario Brothers Rap

The bathtub scene of The Mario Rap

The Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial for The Super Mario Bros. Movie featuring the rap

The "Mario Brothers Rap," originally "The Mario Rap" or simply Mario Rap (with the first part also being known as the Plumber Rap and the second part also being known as the Super Mario Bros. Super Show Animated Opening), is the theme song to The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! The rap samples the Ground Theme from Super Mario Bros., and it is divided up into two parts. It was composed by Shuki Levy and Haim Saban.

The song was covered by Ali Dee for The Super Mario Bros. Movie under the current name, in which the first half of its first part is used as a commercial jingle for Mario and Luigi's plumbing business, Super Mario Bros. Plumbing; additionally, lyrics from the song are featured on two of the movie's posters. The commercial shows the Mario Bros. driving their van and fixing a woman's flooding sink. While only the first part of the song is used in the film itself, the full song is included on the movie's official soundtrack.

Lyrics

English

The Mario Rap Part 1 (show intro)

We're the Mario Brothers, and plumbing's our game
We're not like the others who get all the fame
If your sink is in trouble, you can call us on the double
We're faster than the others, you'll be hooked on the brothers, uh!
H-hooked on the brothers
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Yo, you're in for a treat, so hang on to your seat
Get ready for adventure and remarkable feats
You'll meet Koopa, the Troopas, the Princess, and the others
Hangin' with the plumbers, you'll be hooked on the brothers!
To the bridge!
Uh, uh!
I said-a h-h-h-h-hooked on the brothers!
The brothers!
The brothers!

The Mario Rap Part 2 (animated episodes intro)

Here we go! Yo!
It's the Mario Brothers, and plumbing's the game
Found a secret warp zone while working on a drain
Lend the Princess a hand in the mushroom land
Join the action with the plumbers, you'll be hooked on the brothers!
Now...
Evil Koopa and his Troopas are up to misbehavin'
They kidnapped the Princess; Mushroom Land needs savin'
Abusin' and confusin' everybody he discovers
They can't help but be hooked on the brothers, uh!

Eh, connais-tu les deux frères, les deux frères plombiers Héros, pas zéros, dans les jeux vidéo Bizarre, bizarre, tout paraît bizarre chez les plombiers Quand ils réparent les fuites, ils partent dans les tuyaux Super Mario Bros. Ils vivent entourés par des créatures Étranges et loufoques autant que bouffies Mais quand ils sont emportés par les eaux, c'est l'aventure Ils sauvent des princesses, les Super Mario Bros. Les Super Mario Bros. Les Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros.

The first half of the song is also used as the animated episodes intro, and a shortened version of the song is used as the ending theme in place of "Do the Mario."

Siamo Mario e Luigi, idraulici Non siam come tutti gli altri e lo sai perché? Se si rompe qualche tubo devi solo farti furbo Perché lavoriamo in coppia, però il prezzo non raddoppia, uh!

The Italian dub omits the animated episodes' intro. In the original airings, The Mario Rap was replaced by an original song by singer Cristina D'Avena: Super Mario.

Notes

^note - The phrase te riști, while colloquial, is grammatically incorrect: The verb risca ("to risk," conjugated here at second person) is not reflexive, therefore it cannot be joined with the reflexive pronoun te.
