Cowabunga

Man, you’ve got to dig the groovy sound
Listen to the tracks we’re laying down
The Turtles are coming up from the ground
We got a message that we have found
Gonna keep rappin, gonna keep talkin
We’re ready to go
Let’s get on with the show

(Cowabunga)

Now, hey y’all, Leonardo’s his name
He is the leader, that’s his claim to fame
Now, he is the man my brothers trust
When the Shredder man, we go for the bust
He is a Turtle standing tall and proud
But he loves to rock the crowd
So he put down his weapon and he picked up an instrument
A different kind of message is what he implements
Then he say “You got to keep pushing the envelope
‘Cause if you don’t, you’ll wind up a dope.
‘Cause when the going gets rough, the going gets tough
The winners are the ones who say it’s never enough
Now, are you listening to what I say?
I am still a mutant Turtle in every way
But tonight we come to play”

Yo, there’s Donatello
Even for a Turtle, he’s mellow
(Cowabunga)
It’s simple, it’s simple what makes him grin
Just give him anything, give him anything
Give him anything that you plug in
If it’s got to do with a chip or a bit
Energy that just won’t quit
Now, when we started we had no choice
We needed something to help our voice
And he went to work to develop a plan
And now we’re making music for all our fans
Woop to Don for the whistles and bells
Helping each of us to come out of our shells

I’m the one they call Michelangelo
Let me kick my story, just say so
Born like a pet, just like the rest of them
I grew up wild, party with the best of them
Living loose, living large
With my humor, now I’m in charge
It’s not that I’m crass, not that I’m rude
It’s just that I’m a naturally humorous dude
Turn up the volume, baby let’s pump it
I see the Foot Clan, man you know I thump it
Cowabunga is my favorite word
I use it all the time, or haven’t you heard?
I’m out of control, wild and crazy
Hazy, maybe a little bit lazy

Cowabunga!

Yo, it’s time for the last of the gang of green
He’s the first, man he’s the first that made the music scene
I said, it’s Raphael and you can see
That there’s nothing in this world that he’d rather be
Than a Turtle who is mutant as well
I said it before, he’s coming out his shell
I saved this guy for the end of the song
I’m sorry, excuse me if it gets too long
The man is my very best friend
I stick with my buddy to the very end
He wrote the music, I wrote the words
We wrote everything that you’ve heard

Splinter, Splinter, this one’s for you!
You were the first to say we would come through!

Cowabunga!
What do you do when you can’t think of a rhyme?
Cowabunga!
Personally speaking, it’s ending time
Cowabunga!
Cowabunga!
Out!
