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 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!
