But that's the way it's supposed to be

We thought about giving up

But now we know it's much too late *ride on a boat*

And it's no great mystery, ooh *use a color hammer to smash some colors*

If we change our minds *jump on the Goombas*

Eventually, it's back to you and me *meet up with the Punis*
