Kihon wa Maru (song)

"Kihon wa Maru" (きほんはまる, First draw a circle)  was the original Japanese ending credits theme to Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. This was changed in later episodes with "Kirby ★ Step!." The song was sung by Shanchii, who also sang the intro theme, "Kirby ★ March." The song teaches viewers how to draw Kirby and King Dedede's head.

きほんは まる

まる かいて まる

まる かいて まる

ごまかいて まる

みぎにちょっとまる

ひだりにちょっとまる

したのこっちにもまる

したのあっちにもまる

さんかくおにぎりで むむっ

ほんたいおにぎりで にこっ

おはよう

カービィ はらペこだあ

きほんは まる

たまご かいて まる たまご かいて まる

たまごに ごま まる たまごに ごま まる

まるじゃなくて ぐにや びよよよよんの ぐにや

まんなか ペたん おまんじゅう

ちょながいまる

うえにちょっとのまる

やっぱさいごはまる

**(Japanese Romaji)**

Kihon wa maru

Maru kaite maru

Maru kaite maru

Goma kaite maru

Migi ni chotto maru

Hidari ni chotto maru

Shita no kocchi ni mo maru

Shita no acchi ni mo maru

Sankaku ongirite mumuu

Hontaio ni girite nikou

Ohayou!

Kaabii harapeko daa

Kihon wa maru

Tamago kaite maru

Tamago kaite maru

Tamago ni goma maru

Maru ja nakute gunya

Biyoyoyoyon no gunya

Manna ga petan omanjuu

Chounagai maru, chounagai maru

Ue ni chotto no maru

Yappa saigo wa maru

Kanarazu

Dedede wa yattekuru

**(English)**

First you draw a circle

A circle in a circle A circle in a circle

A sesame-shaped circle

A little circle on the right A little circle on the left

A circle under here A circle under there

A triangle like a rice ball An upside-down triangle like a smile

Good morning! Kirby is hungry

First you draw a circle

An egg-shaped circle An egg-shaped circle

A sesame-shape in an egg

A limp circle shape A curvy line

A bun-shape in the middle

A really long circle, a really long circle

A little circle above

And finally, still a circle

I promise Dedede will arrive

### Kirby's Lampooning Song!

**[Kirby]**

*I've started singing!*

*Come on, hear me singing!*

*I've got started singing!*

*People, I am singing!*

*I'm singing while flying so high*

*Floating so much in the sky!*

*Here I am singing out loud, so real*

*I'm kinda singing so cute, it's a deal!*

*Singin' to the monsters while I'm enjoying!*

*Hear my tummy growling!*

*[tummy growls]*

*I'm so starving!!*

*Kirby is always hungry!*

*I am still singing!*

*Oh yeah. I'm still singing!*

*Come on. I am singing!*

*People, you hear me singing!*

*I am singing out loud because*

*I'm wiggling my little bottom*

*Come on, everybody. Don't be a fool*

*I am keeping it so cool*

*Come on everyone. Just sing along*

*As I finish up my song.*

*Poyo, whoo hoo!*

*Kirby's gonna give you a kiss!*

## Trivia

* In the episode Abusement Park, Kirby gets the Mike ability and sings this song with a little "poyo accent" at the part of King Dedede's "karaoke contest". During his attempt to do so, a sad-sounding musical horn effect can be heard. Kirby's vocals were retained and separated from the overlapping Japanese cast in the Dub but with a different song as the background tune and the English cast participating in it for their lines.

* The song, particularly the second verse, was sung by Kirby, Tuff and his friends when they were painting the wall at the start of ENeMeE Elementary, in the Japanese version.
* The title and first lines of "Kihon wa Maru" are likely a reference to the intro of Kirby's Adventure.
