[Verse]

C G/B Am F G

Every-body needs a ninja,

C G/B Am F G

Something I have always said,

C G/B Am D/F# F G

'Cause you never know when someone else might want to see you dead.

C G/B Am F G

Every-body needs a ninja,

C G/B Am F G

Ninjas know just when to strike,

C G/B Am D/F# F

Though they dress the same I'd never say that they all look alike,

'Cause that ain't right.

[Chorus]

C F Dm G

They do ninja moves with ninja things, watch ninja ball with ninja wings,

Em F Dm G

And ninja beers that they can kill one bottle at a time.

Em F Dm G

They strike from near or far away, you’ll never know if you’re their prey,

Em F Dm G G7 G6 G7

They always make their getaway, no ninja-prints or stars are left behind.

[Verse]

C G/B Am F G

Every-body needs a ninja,

C G/B Am F G

Maybe one or two at work,

C G/B Am D/F# F G

So that you can use one when your boss is acting like a jerk.

C G/B Am F G

Every-body needs a ninja,

C G/B Am F G

Well that’s a simple fact of life,

C G/B Am D/F# F G

They can kill with sheets of paper, they don’t need no stinking knife.

[Chorus]

C F Dm G

They live their lives so secretly, and ninjas kill so gracefully ,

Em F Dm G

They leap from tree to tree like Jackie Chan or Chow Yun-Fat.

Em F Dm G

They use their super ninja-power to kill someone at any hour,

Em F Dm G G7 G6 G7

They could be hiding in your shower - you never know just where they’re at.

[Verse]

C G/B Am F G

Every-body needs a ninja,

C G/B Am F G

Ninja podcasts are the best,

C G/B Am D/F# F

But they only let you listen if you pass a ninja test.

(Not like the rest)

C G/B Am F G

Every-body needs a ninja

C G/B Am F G

It’s good to have one on your side.

C G/B Am D/F# F

Everybody loves a friend who would avenge them if they died.

(That’s ninja pride)

[Chorus]

C F Dm G

The ninjas are your biggest fan if you’re a member of their clan,

Em F Dm G

And if you’re not your plan had better be to run like hell.

Em F Dm G

'Cause ninjas find you anywhere, there might be ninjas in your hair,

Em F Dm G G7 G6 G7

Or hiding in your underwear - They’re everywhere but nobody can tell.

[Outro]

C G/B Am F G

Everybody needs a ninja.

C G/B Am F G

There’s one right behind me now-

(dies)
