Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half-shell
Turtle power!
They're heroes in a half-shell and they're green (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
When the evil Shredder attacks
These Turtle boys don't cut him no slack!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Splinter taught them to be ninja teens (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
Raphael is cool, but crude
Michelangelo is a party dude
Donny, Mikey, Raph, Leo, ready!
Straight from the sewer, be bop, and rock steady
That's a front plan under attack, it gets heavy
When a brotherhood of ninja warriors drop levy
It's all in the fam, no heroes, just brothers
Dedicated to the cause of protectin' others
All different in their own right
But when they come together as a team
You've never seen it better
Splinter's got their back, but Shredder strikes back
Turnin' power to the limit, there's no turnin' back
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half shell
Turtle power!
Go ninja, go ninja, go
Go ninja, go ninja, go
Go ninja, go ninja, go
Go ninja, go ninja, go
Go ninja, go ninja, go
Go ninja, go ninja, go
Heroes in a half shell
Turtle power!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half shell
Turtle power!
The song is an ode to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a group of four turtles who are anthropomorphic and have been trained in the art of ninjutsu by their master Splinter, a rat. The turtles live in the sewers of New York City and are always on a mission to protect the city from the evil forces that want to destroy it. The chorus of the song says "Turtle power!" which is an expression of their strength and determination to fight against any obstacles that come their way.
The lyrics go on to describe the individual characteristics of each Ninja Turtle. Leonardo is the leader of the group, Donatello is the smart one who invents machines and gadgets, Raphael is cool but crude, and Michelangelo is always ready to party. When the evil Shredder attacks, the turtles use their skills to defeat him and protect the city. The song also mentions Bebop and Rocksteady, two henchmen of Shredder who frequently battle against the turtles.
Overall, the song celebrates the strength and unity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a team. It also emphasizes the importance of having a mentor and support system, as the turtles rely on their master Splinter for guidance and protection.
