1. In a half shell, they're the heroes four,
G
in
this day and age who could ask for more ?
A
The crime wave is high with
muggings mysterious,
C D
our
police and detectives are furious,
E
'cause they can't find the source,
G
of
this lethally evil force.
A
This is serious, so give me a
quarter,
C D
I was a witness, get me a reporter !
E
Call April O'Neil in on this
case, and
G
you'd
better hurry up, there's no time to waste !
A
We need help, like quick, on
the double,
C D
have
pity on the city, man, it's in trouble !
E
We need heroes like the Lone
Ranger,
G
when
Tonto came pronto, when there was danger.
A
They didn't say they'd be
there in half an hour,

2. Now our Miss Reporter was hot on the trail,
G
determined
to put these crooks in jail.
A
She spied the bad guys and saw
what happened,
C D E
but
before she knew it, she fell in a trap and was caught.
Yeah, she was all alone,
G
with
no friends and no phone.
A
Now this was beyond her worst
dreams,
C D
'cause she
was cornered by some wayward teens.
E
Headed by Shredder they were
anything but good,
G
misguided,
unloved, they called them The Foot.
A
They could terrorize and be angry
youths, and
C
D
they
mugged the people. Who needed proof ?
E
Then from out of the dark came
an awesome sound !
G
Shouted,
"Cowabunga!" as they hit the ground.
A
From the field of weeds the
heroes rescued the flower,
C
D E
'cause they possessed Turtle Power !

3. Heroes in a half shell, they're on a
mission,
G
when
there's a battle got the enemy wishin'
A
that
they stayed at home, instead of fightin',
C D
these
ninja masters with moves like lightnin'.
E
They were once normal, but now
they're mutants,
G
Splinter's the teacher, so
they are the students.
A
Leonardo, Michaelangelo,
and Donatello,
C D
make
up the team and one other fellow.
E
Raphael, he's the leader of
the group,
G
transformed
from the norm by the nuclear goop.
A
Pizza's the food that's sure
to please,
C D
these
ninjas are into pepperoni and cheese.
E
Back to the story, it's not
hard to find,
G
ninjas
not just of the body but of the mind.
A
Those are the words that their
master instructed,
C D
but a
letter from Shredder has Splinter abducted.
E
That was the last straw,
spring into action,
G
step
on The Foot, now they're gonna lose traction.
A
Now this is for real, so you
fight for justice,
C D E
your
shell is hard, so you shout, "They can't bust us four
like
some old coffee table !”
G
since
you were born you've been willing and able
A
to
defeat the snake, protect the weak,
C D
fight
for rights and the freedom to speak.
E
Now the villain is showin', so you take a stand,
G
back
to the wall, put your sword in you hand.
A
Remember the words of your teacher, your
master:
C D
"Evil moves fast, but
good moves faster !"
E
Then light, shining from your illumination :
G
Good versus Evil equals
confrontation
A
So when you're in trouble
don't give in and go sour,
C D E
try
to rely on your Turtle Power.
