Welcome, and enter the center
Of my Super Mario adventure
A girl is trapped on the other side of town
So I'm moving in leaps and bounds
Folks around my way think I'm strange
But there's a villain to blame
Even my ma, she thinks I'm crazy
But I've got to rescue Daisy

(There ain't no place like Super Mario Land)
You now have two minutes

Well, I'm back off my Lisa Stansfield trip
And I'm rejuvenated and I'm remixed
I took planes, trains, and automobiles
And for real, got ill in Brazil
I'm the Wizard of Oz while on tour
And got poor in Singapore
And I'm eatin' sushi in Japan, but
There ain't no place like Super Mario Land

(There ain't no place like Super Mario Land)
There is now one minute left
(Check this out)

She's my lady, my pride and joy
'Cause to her I'm a hero, not a toy boy
So I'm climbing mountains and swinging through trees
And even facing killer bees
Down secret tunnels in dark rooms
Met with the creature from the Blue Lagoon
Folks out there might think that I'm crazy
But I've got to rescue Daisy

(There ain't no place like Super Mario Land)
Stand by for the final countdown

See, she's doomed, there's no sunshine
To make a wish or click my heels three times
And I'm gathering coins like Indiana Jones
So one day we can make a happy home
So I'm ducking, diving, bobbing, and weaving
But I sure ain't leaving
Get with the program, come join the man
'Cause there ain't no place like Super Mario Land
