The "Shin Chan Theme" was composed by John Loeffler and John Siegler. It plays at the start of every episode of all the show's local adaptations based on the 2002 English dub.

For the German dub a remix of the song was made, and for the Italian dub a new arrangement was made. Other arrangements of the theme song depending on the region are not known.

Main theme[]

English[]

Singer: ?

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!)

He 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!)

Danish[]

Lead singer: Jan Tellefsen

The shortened instrumental with backing vocals heard in the show’s ending credits dubs the backing vocals, whereas they are not dubbed in the theme song, replacing “Say hey!” with “Sig hej!”

(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
I 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!)

(Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
When there's trouble, he's our man
(Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
He breaks all the rules as best he can

He runs a bit strongly, he runs a bit cheekily
He runs wild until he gets respect (Shin Chan!)

He drives people crazy
In school it's his way
Homework, the devil created it
If only you could stay in your bed

He's mommy's little angel, it's sure (It's sure!)
You are as comfortable with him as a ticking bomb (Ticking bomb!)
(Heeey, hey!)

(Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
When there's trouble, he's our man
(Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
He breaks all the rules as best he can

He runs a bit strongly, he runs a bit cheekily
He runs wild until he gets respect (Shin Chan!)

(Hey hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
Problemen maken daar houdt hij van
(Hey hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
Overtreedt de regels wanneer het maar kan

Af en toe dom, nu en dan stom,
Maar daar geeft hij echt niet om (Shin Chan!)

Zijn ouders zijn wanhopig,
Op school gaat 't niet goed
Hele dagen luieren,
Is wat hij het liefste doet

Zijn moeder noemt hem altijd haar engel (Haar engel!)
Maar hij is eigenlijk een vreselijke bengel (Vreselijke bengel!)
(Heeey, hey!)

(Hey hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
Problemen maken daar houdt hij van
(Hey hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)

Af en toe dom, nu en dan stom,
Maar daar geeft hij echt niet om (Shin Chan!)

(Hey hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
Causing trouble, that's what he loves
(Hey hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
Breaks the rules whenever it is possible
Sometimes dumb, sometimes stupid,
but he really doesn't care about that (Shin Chan!)

His parents are desperate,
in school it is not going well
Lazing around for whole days
is what he loves doing most
His mother always calls him her angel (Her angel!)
but he is actually a terrible rascal (Terrible rascal!)
(Heeey, hey!)

(Hey hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
Causing trouble, that's what he loves
(Hey hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
Breaks the rules whenever it is possible
Sometimes dumb, sometimes stupid,
but he really doesn't care about that (Shin Chan!)

(C'est lui !) Hé ! (Shin Chan !)
Ce gamin vous donnera mal au crâne
(C'est lui !) Hé ! (Shin Chan !)
Méfiez-vous de lui quand il ricane

Il est mal élevé et plutôt grossier,
Difficile à supporter (Shin Chan !)

Il fait honte à ses parents,
Ses profs sont sur les dents
L’école, c’est pas pour lui,
Il préfère rester dans son lit

Pour sa mère, c’est un petit ange adoré (Adoré !)
Mais en fait, c’est une vraie calamité (Une vraie calamité !)

(It's him!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
This kid will give you a headache
(It's him!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
Beware of him when he giggles

He is rude and quite crude
Difficult to stand (Shin Chan!)

He disgraces his parents
His teachers are exhausted
School is not for him
He prefers resting in his bed

For his mother, he's a small beloved angel (Beloved!)
But in fact, he's a true calamity (A true calamity!)
(Heeey, hey!)

(It's him!) Hey! (Shin Chan!)
This kid will give you a headache

Beware of him when he giggles

Difficult to stand (Shin Chan!)

Psoci tak jak zuchów dwóch (Shin Chan!)

Parents are worried
The hair from the head is tearing,
And he prefers to sleep soundly,
He doesn't want to be afraid of them at all

He is his mommy's son for a while (For a while!)
Because a new catastrophe calls and tempts him (Summer tempts him again!)
(Heeey, hey!)

(¡Say hey!) ¡Hey! (¡Shin Chan!)
Con él los problemas brotarán
(¡Say hey!) ¡Hey! (¡Shin Chan!)
Él rompe las reglas con afán

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

Desquicia a sus padres,

La tarea no quiere hacer
Prefiere en cama descansar

Su mami lo consiente, lo mima
Pero se nota que algún día será una ruina

A bit of a jerk, a bit of a slob
But you will know his temper (Shin Chan!)

His teacher is crazy
He doesn't want to do work
He prefers to rest in bed

His mommy permits him, pampers him
But it shows that one day it will be a ruin

He breaks the rules eagerly

A bit of a jerk, a bit of a slob

Shake, shake Shin Chan
Shake, shake Shin Chan
Shake, shake Shin Chan
Rock your body Shin Chan
 
Tu non passi inosservato neanche un attimo Shin Chan
Nel tuo mondo colorato non c'è il solito tran-tran
Tu sei il re della tua scena
E sei fatto a modo tuo
Ma per te non è un problema
Come on shake, shake Shin Chan
 
Ogni momento è già
Mozzafiatante qua
Fantasticoso, ma
Tu sei con le melette al vento
Ti senti sempre al top
Non metti mai lo stop
Fermati non si può
Come on shake, shake Shin Chan

Se viaggi in macchina
Con la tua mammola
Le urli "Caspita!"
Tu sei un pirata della strada
Fai quello che ti va
E spari qua e la
Battute a raffica
 
Come on shake, shake Shin Chan
Rock your body Shin Chan

Shake, shake Shin Chan
Shake, shake Shin Chan
Shake, shake Shin Chan
Rock your body Shin Chan
 
You don't walk by unnoticed, not even for a moment, Shin Chan
In your colorful world, there is no usual routine
You're the king of your scene
And you're made in your own way
But that's not a problem for you
Come on shake, shake Shin Chan
 
Every moment is already
Breathtaking here
Fantastic, but
You're with your buttcheeks in the air
You always feel on top
You never put it into stop
You can't stop
Come on shake, shake Shin Chan
 
If you ride by car
With your mommy
You shout at her, "Wow!"
You're a hit-and-run driver
You do what you like
And shoot here and there
Jokes in bursts
 
Come on shake, shake Shin Chan
Rock your body Shin Chan

Tu non passi inosservato neanche un attimo Shin Chan
Nel tuo mondo colorato non c'è il solito tran tran
Tra una smorfia e una pernacchia il tuo stile va di più
E anche scuola è uguale a pacchia quando lo decidi tu

Tu sei il re della tua scena
E sei fatto a modo tuo
Ma per te non è un problema
Come on shake, shake Shin Chan

Ogni momento è già
Mozzafiatante qua
Fantasticoso, ma
Tu sei con le melette al vento
Ti senti sempre al top
Non metti mai lo stop
Fermati non si può
Come on shake, shake Shin Chan

Se viaggi in macchina

Usi il termine "trastullo" anche se non sai cos'è
Per far rima con "citrullo" questo è quel che piace a te

Ma per te non è un problema
Come on shake, shake Shin Chan

You don't walk by unnoticed, not even for a moment, Shin Chan
In your colorful world, there is no usual routine
Between a grimace and a raspberry your style is more
And even school is equal to free time when you decide

You're the king of your scene
And you're made in your own way
But that's not a problem for you
Come on shake, shake Shin Chan

Every moment is already

You use the term "plaything" even if you don't know what it is
To rhyme with "fool", this is what you like

You're the king of your scene

But that's not a problem for you
Come on shake, shake Shin Chan
