Speed Racer

The Mach Five is the most complex and ingenious car ever built; a tribute to my father's imagination, genius and technical skills! --- Speed Racer
Ooh, Speed! --- Trixie
Danger is one thing Speed's not afraid of. --- Spritle
You'll never find out. --- Racer X

English Theme Song

[Translation]
SOMETIMES YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE IT EASY
Let's go! Sometimes you've got to take it easy, Speed
We'll leave the city behind, the crows go "caw"
Falling back, pulling ahead
We're tail to nose
Nose to tail
Now some busy crows on the way home have passed us by
Ah don't let it get you down
Why not go for a stroll, Speed
Trixie, Spritle, Chim Chim, Speed

Let's go! Sometimes you've got to let your cares go, Speed
We're on a country road, the pigs go "oink"
Falling back, pulling ahead
We're tail to nose
Nose to tail
Now some hungry little piggies have passed us by
Ah don't let it get you down
Why not go on a date, Speed
Trixie, Spritle, Chim Chim, Speed
Let's go! Sometimes you've got to take it slow, Speed
We're at the seaside, the whales go "whoosh"
Falling back, pulling ahead
We're tail to nose
Nose to tail
Now a newborn whale has passed us by
Ah don't let it get you down
Why not stay for tea, Speed
Trixie, Spritle, Chim Chim, Speed

Here are the lyrics to the Speed Racer theme song. If you've ever wondered, yes, it's the same melody as the original Japanese song.
Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasing after someone
He's gaining on you so you better look alive
He's busy revving up the powerful Mach Five
And when the odds are against him and there's daaangerous work to do
You bet your life Speed Racer's gonna see it through
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer go
He's off and flying as he guns the car around the track
He's jamming down the pedal like he's never coming back
Adventure's waiting just aheeeeeeeeaaaaad
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer Go!
And now that your gas pedal foot is pressed to the floor, and you're just itching to sing along, listen to the theme song itself! (App. 0.6 Mbytes, wav)

Spanish Theme Song

And the lyrics to the Speed Racer theme song in Spanish.

Viene ya, viene Meteoro
(Here he comes, here comes Meteor)
Con su coche veloz
(With his fast car)
Una flecha sobre ruedas un fabuloso corredor
(An arrow on wheels, a fabulous racer)
Monta su bólido y arranca ya el motor
(Get in your racing car and start up the engine)
Es un magnífico piloto-luchador
(He's a magnificent driver- fighter)
El Mach cinco ruge igual que un león, al acelerar
(The mach 5 roars like a lion, as it accelerates)
Se lanza como un rayo, será vencedor
(He takes off like lightning, he will be the winner)
Meteoro, Meteoro, es un triunfador
(Meteor, Meteor, he's a winner!)
Ya está preparado para responder
(He's ready to respond (or ready for action))
Pisando al fondo como si jamás fuese a volver
(Flooring it like he's never coming back)
De la aventura y de la acción
(From the adventure and action)
Meteoro, meteoro, es un triunfador.
(Meteor, Meteor, he is a winner!)
