Lyrics

They call me Sonic
cuz I am faster than sound I keep on jumping around
Blue Hedgehog Sonic
with incredible speed I'm moving my feet

They call me Sonic
cuz I am faster than sound I keep on jumping around
Blue Hedgehog Sonic
with incredible speed I'm moving my feet

They call me Sonic
cuz I am faster than sound I keep on jumping around
Blue Hedgehog Sonic
with incredible speed I'm moving my feet

They call me Sonic...
Blue Hedgehog Sonic...

They call me Sonic
cuz I am faster than sound I keep on jumping around
Blue Hedgehog Sonic
with incredible speed I'm moving my feet

They call me Sonic
cuz I am faster than sound I keep on jumping around
Blue Hedgehog Sonic
with incredible speed I'm moving my feet

They call me Sonic
cuz I am faster than sound I keep on jumping around
Blue Hedgehog Sonic
with incredible speed I'm moving my feet

They call me Sonic...
Blue Hedgehog Sonic...

They call me Sonic...
Blue Hedgehog Sonic...

They call me Sonic
cuz I am faster than sound I keep on jumping around
Blue Hedgehog Sonic
with incredible speed I'm moving my feet

They call me Sonic...
Blue Hedgehog Sonic...
