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.

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!

Som Mario i Luigi, lampistes, els grans Mario Bros.
No som elitistes i el riure hi va inclòs
Quan li perdi la pica, no s'ho pensi ni una mica
Per tot el que desitgi, truqui a en Mario i a en Luigi, ha!

We're Mario and Luigi, plumbers, the great Mario Bros.
We are not elitist and laughter is included
When your sink leaks, don't hesitate for a second
For everything you wish, call Mario and Luigi, hah!

Estonian lyrics Translation

Oleme Mario Vennad ja torudele oleme spetsid
Me pole nagu teised, kes kuulsust otsivad
Kui su kraanikauss hädas, siis kõllake meile kohe
Oleme teistest kiiremad, hakkavad meeldima teile vennad

Helistage vendadele!

We are the Mario Brothers, specialists of pipes
We are not like the others, who are looking for fame
If your sink is in trouble, you'd better ring us right away
We are faster than the others, you are gonna like the brothers

Call the brothers!

French[edit]

The Mario Rap (show intro)[edit]

French lyrics Translation

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.

Hey, do you know the two brothers, the two plumber brothers
Heroes, not zeros, in video games
Bizarre, bizarre, everything seems bizarre with the plumbers
When they fix leaks, they go into pipes

Super Mario Bros.

They live surrounded by creatures
Strange and wacky as well as swollen
But when they are swept away by water, it's adventure
They save princesses, the Super Mario Bros.

The 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."

German lyrics Translation

Wir sind die Mario Brothers, aus dem Klempner-Game

Macht die Spüle auch mal zicken, werden wir sie sofort flicken
Wir sind schneller und klüger, ja, bald liebt ihr die Brüder

We are the Mario Brothers, in the plumbing game
We are a bit different, we don't have so much fame
If the sink malfunctions, we will fix it immediately
We are faster and smarter, yes, soon you'll love the brothers

Italian lyrics Translation

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!
Su-su-super Mario
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Ma, ma pensaci un po', di meglio non si può
Preparati a viaggiare in un mondo speciale
C'è Re Attila, Ughetto, la Principessa Amarena
Rimani un po' con noi che vale proprio la pena
Vai così!
Uh, uh!
Vai così, sì, sì, sì!
Super Mario!
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, but the price 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.

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

We are the Mario Brothers, action plumbers
There are no better ones nor is there any comparison

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.
