Do the Mario

Captain Lou Albano, performing Do the Mario during the end credits of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

Do the Mario is the ending theme to the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! (and for that matter, The Legend of Zelda animated series), in which Mario (portrayed by Lou Albano) performs the Mario dance and sings a song to the tune of the Super Mario Bros. main theme, explaining how to do the aforementioned dance and stumbling at the end. This plays during the credits to every episode.

Lyrics

Do the Mario!
Swing your arms from side to side
Come on, it's time to go!
Do the Mario!
Take one step, and then again
Let's do the Mario, all together now!
You got it!
It's the Mario!
Do the Mario!
Swing your arms from side to side
Come on, it's time to go!
Do the Mario!
Take one step, and then again
Let's do the Mario, all together now!
Come on now, just like that!

Trivia

• The The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Do the Koopa" references to Do the Mario in both its title and similar-sounding cover song.
• The German dub is the only dub to re-dub the song for the closing credits.
• The French dub uses part of the Plumber Rap instead.
