*theme song plays…*
"By Your Powers Combined, I am Captain Planet!" Captain Planet, he's the man
Leading the charge, Earth's number 1 fan! Check him out, you're gonna see
He's the Mega-mac Daddy of ecology! Cap's the hero with the gumption

Some people say he's got a bad sense of humor "I'm baaaaaack!"

But when Eco-Villains run amok Plundering and pillaging, Yuck!
Cap's here to level the playing field With a Ph. D in sustainable yield
But he's not the only hero for Earth Gaia's wisdom gave the Planeteers birth
Wheeler's the Fire Ma-ti's go Heart Gi's got the power to make Waters part
Kwame's rockin' with element Earth Linka uses Wind for all she's worth
But still Greedlys and Blights trash our planet It's up to us to say, "We won't stand it!"
