Heroes in a Half Shell (taken from ”Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”) Lyrics
Here we go, it’s the lean, green, ninja team
On the scene, cool teens doin’ ninja things
So extreme, out the sewer, like laser beams
Get rocked with the shell-shocked pizza kings
[Pre-Chorus 1]
They’re the world’s most fearsome fighting teens
(Teenage mutant ninja turtles)
They’re heroes in a half shell, and they’re green
(Teenage mutant ninja turtles)
When the evil Shrеdder attacks
These turtlе boys, they cut him no slack
[Chorus]
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Heroes in a half shell, turtle power
[Verse 2]
Can’t stop these radical dudes
The secret of the ooze made the chosen few
Emerge from the shadows to make their moves
The good guys win and the bad guys lose
Splinter taught them to be ninja teens
(Teenage mutant ninja turtles)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines
(Teenage mutant ninja turtles)
Raphael is cool but rude
Michelangelo is a party dude
[Chorus]
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Heroes in a half shell, turtle power
[Interlude]
Leonardo’s the leader in blue
Does anything it takes to get his ninjas through
Donatello is a fellow, has a way with machines
Raphael has the most attitude on the team
Michelangelo, he’s one of a kind
And you know just where to find him when it’s party time
Master Splinter taught them every single skill they need
To be one lean, mean, green, incredible team
[Instrumental Break]
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Heroes in a half shell, turtle power
[Pre-Chorus 1]
They’re the world’s most fearsome fighting teens
(Teenage mutant ninja turtles)
They’re heroes in a half shell, and they’re green
(Teenage mutant ninja turtles)
When the evil Shredder attacks
These turtle boys, they cut him no slack
[Chorus]
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Heroes in a half shell, turtle power
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Splinter taught them to be ninja teens
(Teenage mutant ninja turtles)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines
(Teenage mutant ninja turtles)
Raphael is cool but rude
Michelangelo is a party dude
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Heroes in a half shell, turtle power
