-Crash & Coco Bandicoot Lyrics-

Adore the taste of your Wumpa fruit
Love your Aku Aku’s protection
Cause Crash and Coco changed my life
Fell head over heals for PlayStation

My weakest area’s time trials
Each map you give me filled with adventurous plays
5 levels down, on to the next world
N-Trance, N. Tropy, N. Gin: it’s great

Thanks to Naughty Dog,
I have learned to fight
Thanks to Naughty Dog
Wumpa fruit equals life

Papu to Ripper Roo
Red, yellow, green, blue, purple gems lead to paths, so sweet
Hitting numbered boxes to freeze time in the time trials
Sapphire relics, purple crystals glistening
Avoiding nitrogen,
Tranform me into a Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot
Like Crash & Coco Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot
Nitrogen avoiding, avoiding
Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot
Like Crash & Coco Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot
Nitrogen avoiding, avoiding

Beating Dingodile & Nitros Oxide
Got a keen sense for exploration
From the Komodo Brothers to N. Tropy
N. Cortex infects my mind; it’s true
N. Cortex infects my mind; it’s true
I was playing you, just to stay alive
Now I’m playing you, cause you make me smile

Papu to Ripper Roo
Red, yellow, green, purple gems lead to new paths, so sweet
Hitting numbered boxes to freeze time in the time trials
Sapphire relics, purple crystals glistening
Avoiding nitrogen,
Tranform me into a Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot
Like Crash & Coco Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot
Nitrogen avoiding, avoiding
Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot
Like Crash & Coco Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot

So-oh-oh
So-oh-oh
Let it be said-said:
Thank you for playing, Bro
Dan, you changed my life
Thank you for playing Adam,
Crash Bandicoot quality time
Thank you for starting us out, Mom
Buying us games, cause Crash is how we spend time
Thank you to Naughty Dog,
Making Crash one of my favorite games for life

Papu to Ripper Roo
Red, yellow, green, blue, purple gems lead to paths, so sweet
Hitting numbered boxes to freeze time in the time trials
Sapphire relics, purple crystals glistening
Avoiding nitrogen,
Tranform me into a Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot
Like Crash & Coco Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot
Nitrogen avoiding, avoiding
Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot
Like Crash & Coco Bandicoot
Into a Bandicoot
Nitrogen avoiding, avoiding
