The fourth track off Hobo Johnson’s debut record “The Rise of Hobo Johnson”, referencing the Nintendo game characters Mario from the Super Mario Bros. series and Link from the Legend of Zelda series.
[Intro]
Hello there, uh. It's Frank and this song is dedicated to Mario and Link due to their undying perseverance which I'm not sure I should do the same of...
[Verse]
Mario's never getting some and Link's never getting some
So why would princesses love me?
I'm not really making moves I'm just kinda breathing
I work at fucking pizza places just so I keep eating
(That's the type of shit)
To make me go and smoke a fucking pack of smokes a day
That's the type of shit to make me ask my father "You okay?"
That's the type of shit to make be buy a flask for 25
And fill it up with taaka vodka only 4.99
(Mama Mia!)
That's the type of shit to make me write a song and fucking pray
That this one is better than the one that I wrote yesterday
Or yester-year yes-sir-please let me get the recipe, to not being broke
Fuck, I'd really love to be a king but Mario and Link
Should've showed that perseverance is not the end all to everything
The princess in the hallway in a robe
I asked "do you like coffee and scones and she says "No!"
But I just killed a fucking dragon though!
With this sword that I made from the words of my soul
I just killed a fucking dragon though, I just killed a fucking dragon though
But it's whatever, I don't even care that much
[Outro]
The power of the stars restored to that castle and it's all thanks to you!
We have to do something special for you
