Sitting here still on this starting line Thinking 'bout how I, had the best old stories Junior's sitting here bored and I'm Pretty sure that I've, told him my best old stories How the hell did it come to this? How did I become this, tired sad and lumpy? Used to get princesses now I'm getting fat And I'm getting lapped, by an actual monkey All those days, when it was all ok And my villain game Was the best in town, now all I do is think about Olden days, when it was all ok Then that plumber came And it all came down, now all I do is think about I'm just spinning round, trying to figure out Things keep giving me lots to think about (x2) How I struck fear into people's hearts With my piranha plants, that did my bidding for me Now I can't fit in this tiny car And people start to laugh, when they first saw me I can't stand it, I'm a king goddammit Tryna cram my flab into a child's go-kart Where's my castle? I can't drive this fast e- nough to pass my past cos life is moving so fast All those days, when it was all ok And my evil brain Was the best in town, now all I do is think about Olden days, when the Thwomps got outta my way They all knew my name, then it all came down Now all I do is think about I, was king of the Koopas Now I'm just a loser, in Ghost Valley 1, thinking "oh, what kind of a father Slips on a banana, in front of his son?" Now I'm just spinning round Trying to figure out Things keep giving me lots to think about All those days, when it was all ok And my evil brain Was the best in town, now all I do is think about Olden days, when the Thwomps got outta my way They all knew my name, then it all came down Now all I do is figure out Ways to save my dignity when crashing out I won't feel a thing cos I'll be thinking bout Olden days

Hey there! I'm Waluigi I'm so glad, you've come to see me I've brought some, home-made crostini Do you want to eat it with me? I hope that, you like my song and I Hope that, it doesn't go on too long but I've Listed my achievements in, chronological Order from my CV I came second in a doubles match, with my brother And third in double dash, with my brother Got pretty good at dancing, played golf with my brother and, those are the things I've achieved Hey there! I'm Waluigi I'm so glad, you've come to see me Did I mention, that I need a kidney Can I have your kidney Stop hogging your kidney Come and share your kidney with me

We started out in 1983 Just me and my brother We did some grouting for some friends for free Then trained to become plumbers We liked to keep our prices nice and low And came smartly dressed in overalls and a hat We named our business after Mario But I was totally fine with that Then one day we got a phone call From our local royal family To do a job for the princess Now our interest was peaked But these are strange pipes, indeed I've never seen anything like it I said “I think things are worse than we first feared A faulty sump pump’s caused the whole cellar to flood And now things are starting to get weird I think that pot plant’s started to spit fire at us” This situation is drastic No mastic can fix what is broke And how is saving a princess Our business? I don't know… But these are strange pipes indeed… I've never seen anything like it Yes these are strange pipes indeed… I've never seen anything like it I think that I've reached my limit Now I'm in it, I want out I’m gonna be a sole trader See ya later, fregna. Ciao. Cos these are strange pipes indeed… I've never seen anything like it Yes these are strange pipes indeed… STRANGE PIPES INDEED I've never seen anything like it We started out in 1983 But me and my brother Just had a fight and I don't think that we Will ever recover

Kinda creepy, super spooky sort of atmosphere We’re the ghosts who’ve got the most spooktastic schemes You can try hard as you like but you won't catch us here We'll hunt you down and haunt you in your dreams We come at you, still as statues when you catch our eyes You turn around, we make no sound, we draw in near It’s a method we’ve perfected over quite some time We’ve got no noses, but we smell your fear Being super spooky is the thing we like the best We’ll call a distant cousin and find out your home address We’re so cheeky, we’re so naughty, we get everywhere Part and parcel of this castle, it's our home You don’t expect us spooky spectres, but we’re always there And we're never, ever leaving you alone We’ll follow you around and we will give you quite a fright We’ll follow you in daylight and we’ll follow you at night We’ll leave a message at your work to say some spooky stuff, like “You don’t need to collect your kids, cos we will pick them up” Then we’ll send you a parcel with a note that says “hello!” And inside it is a detailed diorama of your murder made with sausage meat and horse hair and small fragments of your clothes Kinda creepy, super spooky sort of atmosphere We’re the ghosts who’ve got the most spooktastic schemes You can try hard as you like but you won’t catch us here We'll hunt you down and haunt you in your dreams

You, told me that you were a plumber I, saw you get lost in a pipe You, are a selfish prima donna I, don't really understand the hype You, think that you can be a hero I, am not so sure of that You, are a lot more anti-hero I, I hate your hat I want to be the opposite of you Whatever it costs Whatever I must do I’m a gonna be the opposite I’m a gonna be the opposite I’m a gonna be the opposite Of you You, do not deserve your brother He, is a much, much better plumber You, are not like one another He, is not a rubbish colour You, do not deserve a lover She, is a wizard in a dress You, only love yourself and not her She, was never in distress I want to be the opposite of you Whatever it costs Whatever I must do I’m a gonna be the opposite I’m a gonna be the opposite I’m a gonna be the opposite Of you

I'm just a shy guy Happy when I'm in disguise Please look away, I Don't wanna look in your eyes You know I'm not so good I hide inside my hood But it's not (that) I don't wanna try I might have a heart inside I'm just a shy guy It's not that I've got things to hide Telling you nothing Is better than telling a lie You know I'm not so bad It's just I feel so sad But it's not (that) I don't wanna try I have a heart inside That's not so bad I'm just a shy guy I have to fight for my life You know it's not so good (Getting pelted with turnips) I hide inside my hood (Getting ready to turn it's almost time!) But it's not that I don't wanna try I have a heart inside That's not so good (We're formulating a plan that) You'd never think we would (Stick it to the mushroom and man, and here we go!) Let out the anger that sleeps inside It's not so good (Getting ready to turn on you!) For you, ohhh Cos I'm just a shy guy I fight for my life, but I look away, i Won't look in your eyes, cos I'm just a shy guy I'm just a shy guy I'm just a shy guy I'm just a shy guy

Hello my little friend, you're looking lost I'm looking for a chubby lizard boss He's in his castle, I can take you there Let's hurry, Princess Peach is pretty scared I know it's strange to meet a talking drain No! I'm a plumber! And I'm fully trained! If i were you I wouldn't leave her there Now you have got me feeling pretty scared Tell me I don't really need to… Go the distance I would rather ride on Yoshi than just push on with persistence And the Princess thinks I'm travelling at her… Her insistence But I'm looking for a wedding and for an easier existence Now it was really nice to meet you, but i Must just be on my way Just jump down here and I can show you round I'm pretty sure I hear a screaming sound Come on in, we've got no time to waste I'm pretty sure i see an ugly face That face is mine and words can hurt, you know… I'm pretty sure that it is time to go I feed on flesh and you will not be spared Now you have got me feeling pretty scared Tell me I don't really need to… Go the distance I would rather catch you in here than put up with your resistance And the plumbers think I'm angry at their… their existence But I'm actually just hungry and i want my photosynthesis Why d'you say "it's nice to meet you" When i am clearly trying to eat you? I want to eat you[r brain]) Tell me I don't really need to… Go the distance I would rather ride on Yoshi than just plough on with persistence And the Princess thinks I'm travelling at her… Her insistence But I'm looking for a wedding and for an easier existence Now it was really nice to meet you, but i Must just be running away

My princess, I am here for you Although you are somewhere else Let me sacrifice myself I'm trying to be your bodyguard But it's proving pretty hard I've fallen and I can't get out! I’m in the hole I’m in the hole I’m in the hole to Mario My father, I will make you proud, Though you will not leave the house, So you cannot hear me shout And also I can smell a funny smell I'm hoping someone sends some help Cos I've fallen and i can't get out! I’m in the hole I’m in the hole I’m in the hole to Mario I'll delegate the rescuing to Mario and Luigi But as soon as I get out of this hole, then I'll be there should you still need me, but I’m in the hole I’m in the hole I’m in the hole to Mario I’m in the hole I’m in the hole I’m in the hole to Mario I’m in the hole I’m in the hole etc

You never listen to a word i say Ooh, don’t set me off... You always have to have it your own way Ooh, don’t set me off... The thrill has gone but we carry on I listen to you going on and on But I don’t know why we don’t just call it off I killed the Koopas and I saved your life You really took to me, now we watch Sitcom bloopers nearly every night And you don’t even look at me When I talk to you, we say nothing new I guess that we just sort of fell into Routine, it seems the wheels are falling off And all your friends and all my friends Say “keep at it” but I can’t defend You to my friends, I can’t pretend That I don't sit and wish that it would end and oh Why oh why don’t You get out of this, cos I know I won’t Why oh why don’t We call it off I want adventure and I want it now I don't care where we go. Well I, I swam to save you and i nearly drowned But you don't care so there we go You know I went through 8 different worlds for you Sometimes I wonder why I bothered to The slightest thing just seems to set you off I hear you whine most of the time Say it's not your fault, but it can't be mine Toad tells me I am doing fine Cos I'm a star and I've just got-a shine Why oh why don’t You get out of this, cos I know I won’t Why oh why don’t We call it off Remember when we shared a Super World? Remember when you were the only girl That I would save? But I can’t save this now (Remember Super Mario only saves himself…?) You never listen to a word i say Ooh, don’t set me off... You never even ask about my day You just go sulking off You never wanted me, just the idea of me You can't expect a normal life to be All turtle zombies, ghosts and walking bombs And I don't see why I should, spend my life Waiting either to be saved or die Just one more shine, then I'll be fine This can't be how you wanna spend your time? I hate this place! Well I hate your face! You never loved me, you just loved the chase This is not ok I'm not ok You never listen to a word I say Why oh why don't You get out of this, cos i know i won't You're a masochist I'm a masochist We know, we can't get out of this
