Theme Song Lyrics
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby
That’s the name you should know
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby
He’s the star of the show!
He’s more than you think,
He’s got maximum pink
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby’s the one!
He comes right back at ya!
He comes right back at ya!
Give it all that you’ve got,
Take your very best shot
He’ll send it right back at ya for sure! Yeah!
(N.M.E. Sales Guy: How can I help you, King Dedede?
King Dedede: I need a monster to clobber that there Kirby!
N.M.E. Sales Guy: That’s what we do best at N.M.E.!
Escargoon: Better get that with a money back guarantee!)
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby
Saving the day!
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby
He’s here to stay!
Don’t be fooled by his size
You won’t believe your eyes
Kirby, (Kirby!)
Kirby, (Kirby!)
Kirby, (Kirby!)
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby’s the one!
RIGHT BACK AT YA! YEAH!
Official Intro Video
Behind the Lyrics: Meaning & Story
The Kirby: Right Back At Ya! theme song is a high-energy jazz-fusion track that introduced North American audiences to the pink puffball’s animated adventures. Produced for the 4Kids TV block, it stands in stark contrast to the more melodic Japanese openings.
The lyrics emphasize Kirby’s “maximum pink” power and his signature ability to inhale enemy attacks and spit them back out. The spoken bridge between the N.M.E. Sales Guy, King Dedede, and Escargoon perfectly captures the show’s comedic villain dynamic, where Dedede is constantly ordering monsters that fail to “clobber” Kirby.
