For those of you old enough to remember, Mario has always been in the Nintendo spotlight, while his brother Luigi seems like he's just along for the ride. Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 64, Super Mario RPG -- Luigi is a second string banana. Mario's getting all the credit. But, is being the star all it's cracked up to be? I think not.

Yes, I'm rambling a bit, but this song takes a while to get to the lyrical part. Be patient, we're almost there...

A decade ago,
I never thought Luigi,
Was gonna be,
on the verge of video game extinction.
Woe-is-me.
But I guess he can't live, in the world of 3-D;
An polygoned landscape of make-believe and wire framing.
And since he ain't here,
The spotlight's on me,
But I have had all I can take of this gaming schedule and it's taken all of the energy,
From me.

It's hard on me, to be first, in all my games.
I've had enough saving girls,
And using flowers to shoot flames.
It's hard on me, to be first.
I'm tired of this fame.
Hard on me, hard on me.
This schedule's insane.

About ten years ago,
I was having a look by a brook,
And I saw a princess with a guy that only reached her knees.
I asked, "That was her date?"
Cause' lately I've been thinking of her and I datin'
As a welcomed vacation from,
Bowsers quest, to conquer Earth.
But it bothers me, oh can't you see,
That all the newest games want me,
While Luigi sits and envies me.

It's hard on me, to be first, in all my games.
I've had enough saving girls,
And using flowers to shoot flames.
It's hard on me, to be first.
I'm tired of this fame.
Hard on me, hard on me.
This schedule's insane.
My schedule's insane.

It's hard on me, to be first, in all my games.
It's hard on me, hard on me, hard on me.

It's hard on me, to be first, in all my games.
I've had enough saving girls,
And using flowers to shoot flames.
It's hard on me, to be first.
I'm tired of this fame.
Hard on me, hard on me.
This schedule's insane.
My schedule's insane.
My schedule's insane.
