about

Parody of "I think I Love You" by The Partridge Family. It's about Super Mario, specifically the first game.

lyrics

I'm swimming
And frightened of contact with the squid thing
Same for the fish it's crazy
One touch is death, not much room for mistakes
I doubt I'll leave this lake
If I don't grow to super size
My small self always dies
Just from touching the bad guys

I need a mushroom

I'm walking
I walk up to a turtle
It feels like a giant hurdle
But that's because I am extremely short
My plan is don't be short
There's one way that's accomplished
Still won't mean I can stomp fish
But it means less chance of doom

I need a mushroom

I need a mushroom
I need one so I can break stuff
I break bricks to get money
Which gives me more life somehow

I need a mushroom
It's a drug but that's no problem
Skin will stretch but that's okay
I'll be better off that way

I don't want hammers hurting me
Or turtle touch destroying me
My size now is annoying me
So....

I need a mushroom
I need one so I can break stuff
I break bricks to get money
Which gives me more life somehow

I need a mushroom
It's a drug but that's no problem
Skin will stretch but that's okay
I'll be better off that way

I'm guessin'
A bunch of you have a question
You wonder if my size obsession
Implies something that's less than flattering
But that's a silly thing
I told you why I need a mushroom
It protects body and soul
Unless I fall in a hole

But If I'm not falling

I need a mushroom
I need a mushroom
I need a mushroom
I need a mushroom
I need a mushroom
I need a mushroom
