Lyrics & Translation

[English]

but we're the Mario brothers and

plumbings again we're not like the

others who get all the fame when your

sink is in trouble you could call us on

the double we're faster than the others

you'll be hooked on the brothers

are you retired about paying too much

for plumbing Mamma Mia that's why the

Super Mario Brothers

thank you Super Mario Bros it seems like

the only thing you haven't drained is my

bank account forget the expensive

plumbing companies

[Music]

the president

wow you were great
