This song was used for the original TV airings of the first three seasons on CITV, and Nicktoons UK airings of the first two, alongside some UK DVD releases of season 2. Very few international dubs adapted this song as their theme song.

It's not fair! My mum and dad nag, nag "Stand up straight!", "Don't be rude!" It's so not fair! (It's so not fair!) 'Cos the Killer Boy Rats know school stinks, kids rule! So, when they send you to your room, Sing a little tune! You sing: Nah, nah, ne, nah, nah! Nah, nah, ne, nah, nah! Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah! Nah, nah, ne, nah, nah...

This dub is currently lost media, as no recordings are available online. However, the lyrics for this dub's intro have resurfaced thanks to YouTuber Caesar [SailorNeptune], who grew up watching the dub and performed a fanmade Swedish cover with the lyrics:

Det är inte schysst, När mamma, pappa gnäller och tjatar på "var inte dum". Det är inte schysst, för Killer Boy Rats vet att skolan suger, barn är coola!

Så när du skickas till ditt rum, Sjung din lilla sång!

Vi sjunger: Nah, nah, ne, nah, nah! Nah, nah, ne, nah, nah! Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah! Nah, nah, ne, nah, nah... Nah, nah, ne, nah, nah, nah!

This song is used for a majority of UK DVD releases, alongside Nicktoons UK airings of season 3. This song does not feature lyrics that entirely suit the intro's footage.

However, for seasons 4 and 5, this song replaced the previous song outright, and a new sequence was animated for the intro that compliments it. This is the song most international dubs use for their intros.

It's not easy being me, "Wash your face" and "brush your hair" Ah, nag, nag, nag, It's just not fair! I'm Horrid Henry So, down with school! I'm gonna rule! And when I'm king, I'll do my thing And then my life will be so sweet! I'm Horrid Henry Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, ney, The Purple Hand Gang rules okay! It's so easy being me, I'm Horrid Henry!

The first version features slightly different instrumentals than the original, and was used in the first four seasons. The second version, used for season 5, is a more faithful adaptation, especially since it uses the original instrumental.

जल्दी उठो, चली ब्रश करो दो पियो, तंग मत करो सुबह शाम ममी पापा कहते हे: अब बस करो हेनरी! एआआह्ह्ह्हह!!!!
