Lyrics

English

If you really want to know... everything that's going on
Just put a shell up next to your ear
You can get the latest word... on anything you might've heard
The vine'll tell you what you need to hear

You don't need to scream or shout (Hey!)
You'll know what it's all about! (Yeah!)

Just listen to the grapevine (Everybody!)
Listen to the grapevine
Can you do it? (Yeah!)

(all lyrics above repeated)

Everbody's feelin' fine (Honey, honey!)
Everybody's on the line!
Just listen to the grapevine (Listen!)

Nosso amigo é faminto que só quer comida Tudo ele veja quer comer Encher a sua pança é o que mais quer Nem pra gente ele vai dar colher Temos que fugir daqui Ele pode nos pegar Nós vamos vencer sim (Todos juntos!)

Notes

• While the original version of the song is about the vine-phone that Mario and his brother invented, the Brazilian Portuguese version is about him trying to defeat the evil dinosaur, most likely due to the song being played as Mario tries to stop the dinosaur as it rampages through Dome City.
