Theme Song Intro

"Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting master of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil, but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and plunged him into the future, where my evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku!"

Got to get back, back to the past Samurai Jack (Ooh, watch out!)

I'll be back, back to the past Samurai Jack (Jack Jack, Jack Jack Jack)

Got to get back, back to the past Samurai Jack (Ooh, watch out!)

I'll be back, back to the past Samurai Jack (Jack, Jack Jack Jack)

Got to get back (Jack, Jack Jack Jack) (Ooh, wa-watch out!)

I'll be back (Jack Jack Jack) Samurai Jack (Jack Jack / wa-watch out! Jack Jack)
