[Intro]
Go! Super Striker!
Go! Super Striker!
Striker (striker, striker)
Go! Super Striker!
[Verse 1]
Reaching for the fame (go super)
Legend of the game (go striker)
Right, baby hit & run!
Fever rising high (go super)
Got to win tonight (go striker)
Goal goal we clap in time
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the chips are down
Gonna scream it all together
We're gonna break the ground
Wanna shout along forever
"Hey you, kick it off, everybody, come on!"
[Chorus]
Go! Super Striker!
Go running for the glory!
Magic hero, get ready let's go (let's go)
Go! Super Striker!
Go step into the story!
Keep it baby rolling, the harder they come (come on and)
Go, Super Striker!
Go running for the glory!
Magic hero, get ready let's go (let's go)
Go, Super Striker!
Go step into the story!
They can never stop you, the champ is the night
Go super, Go! Super Striker!
[Verse 2]
Passion is a flame (go super)
Fire is your name (go striker)
Dragons of starry nights
Dreams are made of you (go super)
Say they're coming true (go striker)
Score it, score it, bag it now!
