Full Opening Theme Song Lyrics

[Intro]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Turtles, count it off!

1, 2, 3, 4 (Turtles!)
Mutant chain reaction (Turtles!)
Livin' underground (Turtles!)
Ninjutsu action (Turtles!)
It's a shell of a town!

Turtles, count it off!
1, Live by the code of the martial arts
2, Never fight unless someone else starts
3, Always stick together no matter what
4, If all else fails, then it's time to kick butt!

I love bein' (I love bein')
I love bein' a Turtle!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Turtles, count it off!

1, 2, 3, 4 (Turtles!)
There's no one better (Turtles!)
Watch out for Shredder (Turtles!)
They're like no others (Turtles!)
Those teenage brothers
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, 3, 4 (Turtles!)
Mutant chain reaction (Turtles!)
Living underground (Turtles!)
Ninjitsu action (Turtles!)
It's a shell of a town!

Turtles, count it off!
1! Leonardo's always in control
2! The wise guy is, Michelangelo
3! Donatello, he's the brains of the bunch
4! Count on Raphael to throw the first punch

I love bein' (I love bein')
I love bein' a Turtle!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Turtles, count it off!

1, 2, 3, 4 (Turtles!)
There's no one better (Turtles!)
We shredded Shredder! (Turtles!)
They're like no others (Turtles!)
Those teenage brothers

1, 2, 3, 4 (Turtles!)
Mutant chain reaction (Turtles!)
Never let us down (Turtles!)
Ninjutsu action (Turtles!)
It's a shell of a town!
Turtles, count it off!
1, Live by the code of the martial arts
2, Never fight unless someone else starts
3, Always stick together no matter what
4, If all else fails, then it's time to kick butt!
