"Great Balls of Fire" is a song originally composed by Jerry Lee Lewis. A cover version of the song plays in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Princess Toadstool for President." The cover plays as Mario and Luigi, after entering the fire pit, evade enemies as they platform all the way to the exit. This song has since been edited out in later airings of the show, being replaced by an instrumental of "Mega Move," which originates from Captain N: The Game Master.

Lyrics[edit]

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Your kind of love drives a man insane
Hey, you broke my will
But what a thrill!
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!

I laughed at love, though I thought it was funny (Haha!)
You came along and you moved me honey
I changed my mind, love is fine
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!

Kiss me, baby
Oohoohoohoohooh, ooh, it feels good
Hold me, baby (Yes!)
Girl, you let me love you like a lover should

Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!
