LyricsEdit
Oh, my darlin', Oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin', Sweet Pauline.
I am coming to your rescue,
Don't you worry, Sweet Pauline.I'll be jumping, I'll be leaping,
I'll be fighting, come what may.
Won't be long now 'till I reach you,
Mario will save the day.I will free you from the clutches
Of that nasty Donkey Kong,
You can count on trusty Mario,
He's the hero of this song!
