Shin Chan theme song

The "Shin Chan Theme" was composed by John Loeffler and John Siegler, and originally sung by Jason Paige. It plays at the start of every episode of all the show's adaptations based on the 2002 English dub, excluding the Italian dub.

English



 * Lead singer: Jason Paige

The intro was left undubbed in the Greek dub, which occasionally also used an instrumental version of the song with backing vocals intact.

(Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) Lookin' for trouble, he's your man (Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) He's breakin' the rules the best he can

Little bit rude, a little bit crude He's the kid with an attitude (Shin Chan!)

Drives his parents crazy His teachers scratch their heads Homework's just a dirty word Rather stay at home in bed

He's mama's little angel, just ask her (Just ask her!) But he's a walkin', talkin' blueprint for disaster (Blueprint for disaster!) (Heeey, hey!)

(Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) Lookin' for trouble, he's your man (Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) He's breakin' the rules the best he can

Little bit rude, little bit crude He's the kid with an attitude (Shin Chan!)

(Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) Når der' ballade, så er han vor mand (Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) Han bryder alle regler så godt han kan

Han styrer lidt stærkt, han styrer lidt frækt Han styrer løs til han får respekt (Shin Chan!)

Han driver folk til vanvid Skolen er hans vej Lektier, det har fanden skabt Hvis bar' man ku' bli' i sin seng

Han er mors lille engel, den er sikker (Den er sikker!) Man er lige så tryg ved ham som en bombe der tikker (Bombe som der tikker!) (Heeey, hey!)

(Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) Når der' ballade, så er han vor mand (Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) Han bryder alle regler så godt han kan

Han styrer lidt stærkt, han styrer lidt frækt Han styrer løs til han får respekt (Shin Chan!)

Un poco patán, un poco haragán Mas su temple conocerán (¡Shin Chan!)
