==Notes==
{{footnote|note|note|The phrase ''te riști'', while colloquial, is grammatically incorrect: The verb ''[[wiktionary:risca#Romanian|risca]]'' ("to risk," conjugated here at second person) is not reflexive, therefore it cannot be joined with the reflexive pronoun ''[[wiktionary:te#Romanian|te]]''.}}

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[1] and Haim Saban.[2]

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[edit]

English[edit]

The Mario Rap Part 1 (show intro)[edit]

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)[edit]

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!

Super Mario!

We're Mario and Luigi, plumbers
We're not like all others and do you know why?
If some pipe breaks you just have to get smart
Because we work in pairs for a price, it doesn't double, uh!
Su-su-super Mario
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
But, but think about it for a bit, you can't find better
Get ready to travel in a special world
There's King Koopa, Toad, Princess Toadstool
Stay with us for a bit that it's really worth it
Way to go!
Uh, uh!
Way to go, go, go, go!
Super Mario!
Super Mario!

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.

Mario Brothers Rap (The Super Mario Bros. Movie version)[edit]

Italian lyrics Translation

Siamo i Mario Bros., idraulici nel game
Non siamo contro i boss, non abbiamo ancora un name
Rubinetti o docce rotte, puoi chiamarci anche di notte
I migliori siamo noi e saremo i vostri eroi, uh!

We're the Mario Bros., plumbers in the game
We're not against bosses, we don't have a name yet
Broken faucets or showers, you can call us at night too
We're the best and we'll be your heroes, uh!

Mario Brothers somos, Não tem pra ninguém
Encanadores como a gente não tem
Onde houver vazamento, nós chegamos no momento
Conserto a quatro mãos, é pra nós Super irmãos, Uh!

Repair by four hands, it's for us Super brothers, Uh!

Somos los Mario Brothers, fontaneros de acción
No hay otros mejores ni hay comparación
Si un desagüe es el problema, arreglamos la faena
Deprisa trabajamos, esto es cosa de hermanos, ¡uh!

We are the Mario Brothers, action plumbers

Latin American Spanish[edit]

Mario Brothers Rap (The Super Mario Bros. Movie version)[edit]

Spanish lyrics Translation

Somos Mario Brothers, plomeros de acción
No hay otros mejores, ni en comparación
Si el desagüe es el tema, solo llama, no hay problema
Muy fácil lo arreglamos, y esto es cosa de hermanos, ¡Uh!

We are Mario Brothers, action plumbers
There are no others better, not even in comparison
If the drain is the issue, just call, no problem
We fix it very easily, and this is a brother thing, Uh!

Notes[edit]

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.
