Last week we buried Princess Leia in my neighbor's backyard
Now we don't play with him no more cuz he got hit by a car
My best friend Robert knows karate and his father's a drunk
I'd like to sit and play Atari til my childhood is done
I'm a ninja
I'm gonna chop you up
Hai-ya!
It's a Super Slurpee Sunday and I'm riding my bike
Maybe go down to the tracks and try to catch us some frogs
Last week I climbed a tree with Billy even though he beat me up
I said his daddy's in a coma and his dog caught a stroke
I'm a ninja
I'm gonna chop you up
Hai-ya!
Ninja Cha... Ninja Cha...
That's the ninja choppin you up
I'm a ninja
I'm gonna chop you up
Hai-ya!

There's a meeting at the fort behind the old Legion Hall
We got a plan to hide the Playboy in the factory wall
Crazy Lenny cursed our mother so we egged him in the face
Now his daddy's breaking furniture, believe when he say...
I'm a ninja
I'm gonna chop you up
Hai-ya!
about
In 1994, Ra Lamotta Heatley and David Heatley got together in Jersey City and recorded on David's Tascam 4-track. Of all the sonic experiments produced that day, "Ninja Chop," a mostly-written song by Ra was the keeper. In 2013, David enlisted producer Jeff Lipstein to help create 2 new versions of the song. David's version is featured in Morgan K. Nichols' 2013 feature film "How to Make Movies at Home." Ra's version was recorded in Sydney Australia where he now lives.
