The chips are never down
Ch-ch-ch-chip 'n Dale's, rescue rangers
Ch-ch-ch-chip 'n Dale, when there's danger
No, no, it never fails, once they're involved
Somehow whatever's wrong gets solved
Ch-ch-ch-chip 'n Dale (oh, oh, oh, Ch-ch-chip 'n Dale)
Ch-ch-ch-chip 'n Dale (Ch-ch-chip 'n Dale)
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, oh
The lyrics of Post Malone's Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers Theme is the theme song for the animated series "Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers." The song begins with the statement that sometimes some crimes may go unnoticed, so the two gumshoes, Chip 'n Dale, pick up the slack and solve them. There's no case too big or too small for them to handle. The song then goes to describe Chip 'n Dale as the best rescue rangers, and there's no danger that they can't face. It never fails; if they're involved, whatever's wrong will get solved.
The song also says that Chip and Dale are like a modern-day version of Sherlock Holmes and Watson. They are two fine minds, and no stone is left unturned when they are working on a case. Whenever there is trouble, and bad guys see double, Chip and Dale are there to rescue. The song concludes by saying that the chips are never down when Chip 'n Dale are around.
The lyrics of Post Malone's Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers Theme are motivational, humorous, and catchy. The song reflects the spirit of teamwork and always being available to help others. It shows how Chip 'n Dale's determination to solve crimes, big or small, saves the day.
