Standing in the school, and he's got a hunch
That bad schoolyard bully's gonna come for his lunch
Feared the strength of his punches, he could picture the scene
From way down the hall, he heard a distant scream

He saw that flyer, it could save the day
Karate lessons, and the very next day

Plunked down a twenty, at the academy
One month's whole allowance, worth every penny

Learned how to make, weapons of his hands
Took pretty long, he'd understand
But this bully, he had to go
Words of the sensei, "Don't abuse what you know"
So he started choppin', ain't never gonna stop
And he kept on choppin'
Took that bully down with just one chop

And he's the LUNCH BOX HERO right between the eyes
On that one schoolyard LINCH BOX HERO
Right between the eyes
LUNCH BOX HERO, they'll sing his praise tonight

In a school without a name, some years later or more
A kid hears of his legend, by the school's main door
Like a tale from the past, of the kid who stood up
And the karate lessons, that sure switched things up

Now he goes to take lessons, and ain't gonna stop
Gonna be taking down bullies, with a karate chop

And be a LUNCH BOX HERO like that kid long ago
Be a LUNCH BOX HERO like that kid long ago
Yeah LUNCH BOX HERO like that kid long ago


ON THAT ONE SCHOOLYARD they'll sing his praise
Sing his praise tonight

Yeah, he's gonna start on choppin'
And ain't gonna stop
Gonna start on choppin'
Take them all down with just one chop

And be a LUNCH BOX HERO right between the eyes
He's the LUNCH BOX HERO right between the eyes
On that schoolyard
LUNCH BOX HERO right between the eyes

C'mon he's just the LUNCH BOX HERO right between the eyes
LUNCH BOX HERO
LUNCH BOX HERO right between the eyes
Between the eyes
