When there's
music inside of you
someday you know
that it's gonna
come through
That's why we're
here and we're
telling you true
we're coming out
of our shells
You hear the
rhythm
and you're movin'
you're feet
ain't nothin like
a song with a
beat
we're coming up
out from under
the street
we are ready to rock
there will be no
retreat
Comin out
of our shells
Once we got
started
we knew that
we scored
learnin the
music
findin the
chords
we just kept
practicing
we stayed
underground
cause singin
in the sewer
is a wonderful
sound
it's a wonderful
sound
Out of our shells
we're comin
out of our shells
we're comin
out of our shells
cause
when there's

of you

come through
that's why we're here
and we're tellin'

Hangin' in
the sewer livin'
underground
lookin' for
waves that can't
be found
Goin' tubin
surfin' subterranean
tubin
It's always pumpin
underneath the
street
they're always
hollow cause they're
made of concrete
Tubin
surfin subterranean
Once you get
crakin man
it's totally rad
you're makin the scene
you're gettin it mean
you're jumpin
waves
like you've never had
it'll blow your
mind
it's the best
you'll find
Tubin'
surfin subterranean
You may like
southern california
days
but tubin's got
no ultra violet
rays
Goin' tubin
It's never sunny
but we dig
the scene
who needs the sun
when your
skin is green
Tubin'
surfin subterranean
It's the
urban coastline
take a ride
you got to dig the heat
under the street
and you don't have
to wait for
high tide
when you're
surfin on the sewer side
when you're surfin
on the sewer side
Check this
you got your
pads you got your
deck
your mamma's scared
that you'll break your
neck
but you got it wired
you're in control
you ride the bowl
you're a tubin mole
nothin cranks
like being
underground
especially the
groovis sound
it's boss it's gnarly
out of sight
best of all you
do it day or night
tubin.....

Standing at water
that looks like
glass
A world of blue is
what I see
It's smooth and flat
inside my hands
And I wish I could
ride
as I set it free
I'm standing
skipping stones
On a clear blue pane
of sea
skipping stones
Just one touch
and the water is all
its own
But all things
change
as time goes by
Moving on to bigger
seas
and not quite
knowing why
The search for
happiness
reaching for piece
of mind
Hoping that
something more
than stones is what
we'll find
No time for
skipping stones
on a cool blue pane
of glass
Skipping stones
water surrounds
you
but the time for
rings has past
Sometimes I stand
and
look at all that
must be done
It seems as though
It's way too much
for only one
I try to think back
to that giant pane
like sea
And how the rings
would grow
from a small flat
rock and me
Skipping stones
on a clear blue pane
of glass
Skipping stones
the water
surrounds you
but the time for
rings has past
Skipping stones
on a clear blue pane
of glass
skipping stones
the water
surrounds you
but the time for
rings has past
The water
surrounds you
but the time for
rings has past

Growing up in a glass bowl
With chameleons, lizards, and tadpoles
It hardly enters your mind
That there's something better than this.
A lettuce leaf and a carrot
Maybe a seed from a parrot
Believe me when I tell you
The word gourmet just don't exist!
But pizza power
A flying saucer food delight
Pizza power
Oh, that's what makes us feel all right!
But then we all began changin',
Our size was all rearrangin'
It led us to discover the kind of food that we like best (Tell 'em, Raph!)
It isn't burgers or French fries,
That work with turtles of our size
Ice cream, cake, or apple pie they don't even pass the test, dude
Pizza power,
Is the thing that keeps us goin'
Pizza power,
Is the food worth asking for
Pizza power,
We take great comfort in knowin'
Pizza power,
Can be delivered to your door
Pizza power,
Makes a turtle's shell start ringin'
Pizza power
Pizza power,
Is the reason we are singin'
Pizza power,
Eat it any time of day
Pizza power,
When it comes to food that's what we say
Pizza power
Pizza power,
Always better the next day
Pizza power,
makes us feel all right,
Pizza power makes us feel all right.

Now word up
I got a story to tell
it starts way back
when we were
coming out of our
shell
Back then we were
little
swimming in the
bowl
But something
happened
when we fell down
that manhole
Don't have to tell
you what you
already know
you should
remember that
we all have to
grow
Everybody does it in
a different way
so do it on your
own that's
what the turtles
say
Walk straight
no need to mutate
Mutate
you never got to
mutate
Got to walk
straight
no need to mutate
Mutate
no need to if you're
walking straight
Got to walk
walk straight
Talk
talk straight
Be
be straight
See
see straight
Hear
hear straight
Think
think straight
Walk
walk straight
In the beginning we
were crawling
round
a nuclear
mutation
is what
got us off the
ground
But you're walking
tall
you're ahead of the
game
and you know that
moving
backwards is a
crying shame
So when they ask
you
if you're joining in
just keep on
walking
and never begin
You may not be
green
and have a cool shell
but you'll be you
and
you'll do it so well

He walks in the
door
and out go
the lights
He says it's
all over
and he reads us
our rights
He hears the
sound rockin
he can feel
that he
Sees bodies moving
but he can't stop
the beat
No treaties
after the war
Thinks he can stop it
bring it all
to an end
but it's him that
we'll break
casue we'll
never bend
The music is movin
so get up and
dance
we're four rockin
brothers
and we're takin
a stand
Together we're
ready
to fight and defend
we'll do what we
have to
and we'll find a
way
to bring back the
music
and do it today
No treaties
after the war
music is somethin
that can't be
torn down
no treaties
after the war
the whole world is
rockin to a
powerful sound
no treaties
no treaties
After the war
take that Shredder

Man you got
To dig the
Groovis sounds
Listen to the
Tracks we're laying
Down
The turtles are
Coming up from the
Ground
We got us a message
That we have found
Gonna keep rappin
Gonna keep talkin
Ready to go
Let's get on with
The show
Hey ya'll
Leonardos
His name
He is the leader
That's his claim to fame
He is the guy
My brother's trust
When
For Shredder man
We go for the
Bust
He's a ninja
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
He said
You got to keep
Pushing the
Envelope
Cause if you don't
You'll wind up a
Dope
Cause when
The going get
Rough
And the going gets
Tough
The winners
Are the ones
Who say it's
Never enough
He say
Be your best
And you will
Learn
That respect
Is not a gift
It's something
You earn
Are you listenin
To what I say
I am still
A mutant turtle
In every way
But tonight
I come to play
Yo
There's Donatello
Even for a turtle
He's mellow
It's simple
It's simple
What makes him
Grin
Just give him
Anything
Just give him
Anything
That you plug in
Electronics
Are the thing
He uses
And you know he's groovin
If it's got
Fuses
When we started
We had no choice
We needed
Something
To help
Our voices
He went to work
To develop
A plan
And now we're
Makin music
For all our fans
Look to Don
For the whistles
And bells
Helping each
Of us
To come out of
Our shells
I'm the one
They call
Michaelangelo
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
Livin loose
Livin large
With my humor
Man I'm in charge
It's not that
I'm crass
It's not that
I'm rude
It's just that
I'm a naturally
Humurous 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
May be a little bit
Lazy
Yo
It's time for
The last of
The gang of green
He's the first
Man
He's the first
Who made the
Music scene
It's Raphael
And you can see
There's nothin
In this world
That he'd
Rather be
Than a turtle
Who is
Mutant as well
I said it
Before
He's comin'
Out of his shell
I saved
This guy for
The end of
The song
Excuse me
I'm sorry
If it gets
Too long
You know
This guy
Is my
Very best friend
I stick with
My brother
Till 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
Who said we would
Come through
What do you do
When you can't think
Of a rhyme
Personally speaking
It's ending time
Out

Always the brave
one
nothing I would do
would
make me scared
No matter what, I'd
go
I never cared
But here I am now
and I don't know
if I'll make it
through
Afraid of
everything
afraid of what
he'll do
But they told me
you can count on
us
they said April
you can count on
us
A turtles a friend
a friend to the end
So I'll keep waiting
believing that my
friends will
soon be here
And just believing
takes away my fear
And now it's my
turn
to face myself as
I've
done all along
but I must stand
strong
But they told me
you can count on
us
That's what they
told me
But when you're all
alone
out on your own
it's easy to worry
and doubt
if you're without
some one
a true companion
to help you work it
all out
it's hard to face the
things
that care you
inside as you
move through
every day
people you love
who stand by
you
who can help you
find the way.
the turtles
you can count on
us

There's a rumble
starting
underground
you know we're
on our way
move like the night
so that we
can't be found
coming to save
the day
April you know
we're with you
and that you'll
be okay
We are four
brothers who know
what is right
four ninja brothers
who are ready to
fight
Shredder get ready
cause you're goin'
down
Look out because
the turtles
are in town
April you know
we're with you
and that you'll be okay
You gotta fight
to be free
you gotta fight
for what is right
you got to fight
to be free
but we need
your help
tonight
you know we can
make it right
When you're callin'
you can count on us
you feel like
you're fallin
you can count on us
no need to
be afraid
you can count on uS
where ever
you are
you know that
we're never
far
You gotta fight
to be free
When you're in
trouble
Don't know where to turn
feels like it's
come to an end
just hang on
because you're
going to learn
that you can
count on
your friends
No one can stop
us once the fights
begun
Ain't gonna stop
until the foots undone
We gotta let
the music be
You gotta fight
to be free
you gotta fight
for what is right
you got to fight
to be free
but we need
your help
tonight
you know we can
make it right
We're the turtles
you can count on us
ninja turtles
you can count on us
we're the turtles
you can count on us
ninja turtles
you can count on us
Where ever you are
you know that
we're never far
You gotta fight
to be free
