lyrics

(you're a ninja, he's a ninja, that guy's a ninja!)

Ninjas are hiding
Creeping everywhere
Their time they are biding
Before they get you in your chair…

There's a Ninja in the basement,
There''s a Ninja in the tree,
There's a Ninja behind the hedge,
and he's comin' (he's comin' for) me (thee).

Perched upon a precipice
Throwing star in hand
You really cannot mess with this
Ninja, understand?
(Knife-hand! Sidekick!!)

There's a Ninja in the basement,
There''s a Ninja in the tree,
There's a Ninja behind the hedge,
and he's comin' (he's comin' for) me (thee).

According to Wikipedia, the Ninja is also known as the Shinobi,
(shi-no-biiiiii…revenge of…)
Covert mercenaries from feudal Japan.
Functions of the Ninja included, but were not limited to:
Espionage,
Sabotage,
Infiltration,
and Assassination.
(That's a lot of jobs…That's a lot of jobs…That's a lot of jobs…That's a lot of jobs…)

Like their functions, and their origins, precise abilities are also shrouded in mystery.
But said abilities included, but were not limited to:
Shape-shifting,
Flight,
Invisibility,
and Elemental Control!
I wanna be a Ninja!
(you're a ninja you're a you're a you're a ninja…
you're a ninja you're a you're a you're a ninja…)

Secret by design, shrouded in fear,
Two weapons they liked, two weapons I hear…

Two weapons…Two weapons…Two weapons…Two weapons…
Two weapons…Two weapons…Two weapons…
(they were:)

KATANA! and a THROWING STAR!
KATANA! and a THROWING STAR!
(there's a ninja in the basement, there's a ninja in the tree, there's a ninja behind the hedge and he's comin', he's comin' for me)
(he's comin' for me!)
KATANA! and a THROWING STAR!
(there's a ninja in the basement, there's a ninja in the tree, there's a ninja behind the hedge and he's comin', he's comin' for me)
(he's comin' for me!)

KATANA! and a THROWING STAR!

THERE's a NINJA IN THE BASEMENT!
HEE-YAH!
