Lyrics

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Gotta go fast, gotta go fast,
Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
Movin' at speed of sound (make tracks)
Quickest hedgehog around
Got ourselves a situation, stuck in a new location,
Without any explanation, no time for relaxation!
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't blink, don't think,
Just go, go, go, go, g-g-g-g-go, go!
N-n-n-n-n-n-na
N-n-n-n-n-n-na
Sonic, he's on the run!
Sonic, he's number one!
Sonic, he's comin' next,
So watch out... For Sonic X!
Gotta go fast (Sonic!), gotta go fast (Sonic!),
Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster, faster!
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
So... (Sonic) nic... (Sonic) X,
Gotta go faster!
Gotta go fast!
Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster,
Sonic X!

Ending version

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
Movin' at speed of sound (make tracks)
Quickest hedgehog around
Got ourselves a situation, stuck in a new location,
Sonic, he's on the run!
Sonic, he's comin' next,
So watch out... For Sonic X!
So... (Sonic) nic... (Sonic) X,
Gotta go faster!
Gotta go fast!
Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster,
Sonic X!

Connection to the show

  • Movin' at speed of sound, quickest hedgehog around - Sonic's ability to run at supersonic speed and also because he is the fastest living thing around.
  • Stuck in a new location, without any explanation, no time for relaxation - Sonic and the others being accidentally teleported to Earth by Chaos Control, and that they have to find the seven Chaos Emeralds before Eggman does.
  • Don't, don't, don't don't don't blink, don't think, just go, go, go, go, g-g-g-g-go, go! - Sonic acting fast without thinking too much.
  • Sonic, he's on the run - Sonic always running.
  • Sonic, he's number one - Sonic being the main hero.
  • Sonic X - the name of the show itself.

Trivia

  • The name of the song has survived as an iconic Sonic catchphrase for over a decade after the initial release of Sonic X. It has been used in the titles of video games to represent the Sonic the Hedgehog series and other fast-paced video games.
