lyrics

Dear Blade Steel,
Thanks for keeping it real
When you came into our school after a courtroom deal
Got you out of time in jail and swiftly into our hearts
Though I must admit that we had had a rocky start
We were loud, we were rude
We were out of control
And going down the path to sentencing without parole
You know the only kind of sentences that we should string together
Is when words are linked grammatically to mean something or other
Cause we're six
We're too young to be behind bricks

We have a problem with a dude who's name is Mr. Machete
Not the one who Trejo played this guy is ugly gross and sweaty
And he uses kids to deal his dope to dudes who do it heavy
Our neighbourhood is looking like New Orleans without levies
Cause they're dicks
Machete's a total dick

Ghost of Bruce Lee
And Master Chosen One
Only one of you can see
And he's the one who's dead and gone
You've gotta help Blade Steel
Get us out of this mess
It's an unwritten law
We need a kindergarten ninja

Blue and green, scary mean
Football kung-fu killing machines
Are backed up by the drug king
Though Steel can fight, and flirt, and sing
He might be in over his head
Machete really wants him dead
To stop all this commotion
We may have to fight in slow motion

Ghost of Bruce Lee
And Master Chosen One
Only one of you can see
And he's the one who's dead and gone
You've gotta help Blade Steel
Get us out of this mess
It's an unwritten law
We need a kindergarten ninja

So thank you Mr. Steel
For all that you've done
You taught us all karate
And the war is won
Sure you put us all in danger
In that warehouse fight
But we ended drugs forever
So our future can be bright
I hope you never leave us
The thing this school needs
Is the womanizing, football playing
Kung fu fighting deeds
Of a man who God has chosen
For an angel to descend
And give him martial arts, a big heart
And a brand new lady friend

Ghost of Bruce Lee
And Master Chosen One
Only one of you can see
And he's the one who's dead and gone
You've gotta help Blade Steel
Get us out of this mess
It's an unwritten law
We need a kindergarten ninja
