This one is for my one and only true love

Princess Peach

Peach, you're so cool

And with my star, we're gonna rule

Peach, understand

I'm gonna love you 'til the very end

Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches

Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches

I love you, oh

Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches

Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches

I love you, oh

Mario, Luigi, and a Donkey Kong, too

A thousand troops of Koopas couldn't keep me from you

Princess Peach, at the end of the line

I'll make you mine, oh!

Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches

Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches

I love you, oh

Peaches

Peaches

Peach

Peach!
